Can we put FibreChannel HBAs in *target* mode into a Linux-based PC and
export LUNs via FibreChannel?
 - Do we support multipath in this configuration?
 - Zoning?  Muli-access LUNs for Clustering?

Yes to everything, although the low-level FC driver patches are not
quite upstream yet.

Cool!
Thanks for the update.

I assume that the management API for this is similar to or the same as the
FCoE API?  That would make it easier to produce a consistent look-and-feel
in whatever end-user management tools a third-party my create.

If you're talking about the kernel target stuff, you need to do the
FCoE-specific setup using the same fcoe tools, and then configure the
kernel target via configfs, so that's probably going to be a little
different.
