FUJITA Tomonori 930e99bd13 [SCSI] tgt: fix the user/kernel ring buffer interface
This patches fixes two bugs in the scsi target infrastructure's
user/kernel interface.

- It wrongly assumes that the ring buffer size of the interface (64KB)
is larger than or equal to the system page size. This patch sets the
ring buffer size to PAGE_SIZE if the system page size is larger.

- It uses PAGE_SIZE in the header file exported to userspace. This
patch removes it.

FUJITA Tomonori 97f78759ea [SCSI] scsi tgt: scsi target user and kernel communication interface
The user-space daemon and tgt kernel module need bi-directional
kernel/user high-performance interface, however, mainline provides no
standard interface like that.

This patch adds shared memory interface between kernel and user spaces
like some other drivers do by using own character device. The
user-space daemon and tgt kernel module creates shared memory via mmap
and use it like ring buffer. poll (kernel to user) and write (user to
kernel) system calls are used for notification.
