Overview
Instantiate a target on top of a LightNVM enabled device. This exposes the physical for the user to use.
The target name is the name of which the media is exposed as in /dev/<targetname>
The target type is the target to be instantiated. Typically pblk or rrpc.
LUN begin and end defines the range of LUNs to use for a target instantiation.

Target name of the device to initialize. For example: target0.
-
--target-type=<TARGETTYPE>, -t <TARGETTYPE> -

-
--lun-begin <NUM>, -b <NUM> -
Begin LUN id offset to use for target
-
--lun-end <NUM>, -e <NUM> -
