I'm on my umpteenth rewrite of the block/SCSI offload code. It is not as
protocol-agnostic as I would like in the block layer facing downwards.
It has proven quite hard to reconcile token-based and EXTENDED COPY
semantics along with the desire to support stacking. But from an
application/filesystem perspective everything looks the same regardless
of the intricacies of the device. Nothing is preventing us from
supporting other protocols...
