Any of those are good choices.  Smrt is probably the best because it has support for SMP and both physical and logical LUNs.  So closest to the needs of real hardware I think.

There is a small chance that I might even do this myself, but it is just a matter of having enough time to do it, combined with no pressing need for it at RackTop right now.

Which driver that uses iport() & tran_setup_pkt() would be a good reference?  Looks like we have pmcs, smrt, and vioscsi to pick from.
