How much effort would be involved in enabling comstar to present firewire disk targets?

Are there any efforts currently in this direction? Volunteers to take it up? :-)
This would open up many interesting possibilities to bring opensolaris and zfs
to the embedded storage space, given the widespread (almost ubiquitous)
availability of these interfaces.
COMSTAR and ZFS are already in the embedded storage space. For USB,
target is a function of a physical cable (which end you are on
designates host vs initiator), so not really possible, even if it were
interesting unless you did some serious spoofing and unnatural things
(at least I think so). Firewire is perhaps possible, but I don't know
enough about firewire to know. All that being said, we have at least
three port providers that are samples and should be relatively easy to
use as a baseline... I just don't know how interesting it would be to
the consumer space. The only reason I can think of would be cost, and, I
just don't see the relevance of COMSTAR and ZFS for a music player or
other consumer electronic device.
