[stgt] [PATCH] Allow to create a MMC LUN without backing store

[ronnie sahlberg]

Oh dear,  christmas/yule and all

ignore the old bad patches in the previous mail and use these instead
sorry for the confusion


I recently switched to a different directory for the tgtd sources  and
didnt realize i was still defaulting to the old tgtd directory with an
ancient patch.



regards
