This is a feature request to enable the IBM VSCSI server for PowerVM. This is a new device driver recently accepted upstream and queued for the 4.8 kernel. It enables Linux to act as a virtual scsi *server*, allowing other Linux LPARs on the same machine to access shared storage via the VSCSI protocol.
