No need. I did, and the status is 'not supported'.
Driver support for nvmet on qla2xxx is missing, and
Marvell has no intention of bringing it back.

(Which really is a bit ironic, seeing that the _have_
target mode support for SCSI. But what do I know...)

I had some patches somewhere at some point; I can see
to dig them up if there is interest.
