+=========================================
+The TCM v4 fabric module script generator
+=========================================
+
+Greetings all,
+
+This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
+script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
+that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
+fabric skeleton, by simply using::
+
+	modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
+	mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
+
+This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
+
+	1) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
+	   ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg(), ->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn().  These are created
+	   into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
+	2) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
+	   using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
+	3) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
+	   the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
+	   SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
+	   using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
+	4) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
+	   in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
+
+tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
+$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like::
+
+  target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target# python tcm_mod_builder.py -p iSCSI -m tcm_nab5000
+  tcm_dir: /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../
+  Set fabric_mod_name: tcm_nab5000
+  Set fabric_mod_dir:
+  /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
+  Using proto_ident: iSCSI
+  Creating fabric_mod_dir:
+  /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
+  Writing file:
+  /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_base.h
+  Using tcm_mod_scan_fabric_ops:
+  /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../include/target/target_core_fabric_ops.h
+  Writing file:
+  /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_fabric.c
+  Writing file:
+  /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_fabric.h
+  Writing file:
+  /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_configfs.c
+  Writing file:
+  /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kbuild
+  Writing file:
+  /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig
+  Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kbuild..? [yes,no]: yes
+  Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kconfig..? [yes,no]: yes
+
+At the end of tcm_mod_builder.py. the script will ask to add the following
+line to drivers/target/Kbuild::
+
+	obj-$(CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000)       += tcm_nab5000/
+
+and the same for drivers/target/Kconfig::
+
+	source "drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig"
+
+#) Run 'make menuconfig' and select the new CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000 item::
+
+	<M>   TCM_NAB5000 fabric module
+
+#) Build using 'make modules', once completed you will have::
+
+    target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git# ls -la drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/
+    total 1348

+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Future TODO items
+=================
+
+	1) Add more T10 proto_idents
+	2) Make tcm_mod_dump_fabric_ops() smarter and generate function pointer
+	   defs directly from include/target/target_core_fabric_ops.h:struct target_core_fabric_ops
+	   structure members.
