How can I use target mode in Linux with USB?

Kernel 3.5 introduces:
This release includes a driver for using an IEEE-1394 connection as a
SCSI transport. This enables to expose SCSI devices to other nodes on
the Firewire bus, for example hard disk drives. It's a similar
functionality to Firewire Target Disk Mode on many Apple computers.
This release also adds a usb-gadget driver that does the same with
USB. The driver supports two USB protocols are supported that is BBB
or BOT (Bulk Only Transport) and UAS (USB Attached SCSI). BOT is
advertised on alternative interface 0 (primary) and UAS is on
alternative interface 1. Both protocols can work on USB 2.0 and USB
3.0. UAS utilizes the USB 3.0 feature called streams support.
