A reader should spend an extra moment whenever noticing a cast,
because either something special is going on that deserves extra
attention or, as is all too often the case, the code is wrong.
These casts, afaics, have all been useless. They cast a foo* to a
foo*, cast a void* to the assigned type, cast a foo* to void*, before
assigning it to a void* variable, etc.
In a few cases I also removed an additional &...[0], which is equally
useless.
Lastly I added three FIXMEs where, to the best of my judgement, the
code appears to have a bug. It would be good if someone could check
these.

This reorganized the headers under include/target into:
- target_core_base.h stays as is with all target-wide data stuctures and defines
- target_core_backend.h contains the whole interface to I/O backends
- target_core_fabric.h contains the whole interface to fabric modules
Except for those only the various configfs macro headers stay around.

The Linux-iSCSI.org target module is a full featured in-kernel
software implementation of iSCSI target mode (RFC-3720) for the
current WIP mainline target v4.1 infrastructure code for the v3.1
kernel. More information can be found here:
http://linux-iscsi.org/wiki/ISCSI
This includes support for:
* RFC-3720 defined request / response state machines and support for
all defined iSCSI operation codes from Section 10.2.1.2 using libiscsi
include/scsi/iscsi_proto.h PDU definitions
* Target v4.1 compatible control plane using the generic layout in
target_core_fabric_configfs.c and fabric dependent attributes
within /sys/kernel/config/target/iscsi/ subdirectories.
* Target v4.1 compatible iSCSI statistics based on RFC-4544 (iSCSI MIBS)
* Support for IPv6 and IPv4 network portals in M:N mapping to TPGs
* iSCSI Error Recovery Hierarchy support
* Per iSCSI connection RX/TX thread pair scheduling affinity
* crc32c + crc32c_intel SSEv4 instruction offload support using libcrypto
* CHAP Authentication support using libcrypto
* Conversion to use internal SGl allocation with iscsit_alloc_buffs() ->
transport_generic_map_mem_to_cmd()
