I am a little nervous about including this in 7.2 given that it changes
the interface of target_ops functions.  But at the same time, it's been
WIP for so long that I feel that everyone who contributed to getting
this piece of code in deserves to see this code in 7.2. We can work out
any missing API updates, if any during the branch stabilization phase.

Any objection, please yell.
