Hi Christoph, James and Co,

At this point I have no further changes beyond RFC-v4 for the initial
merge of iscsi-target.  Please let me know if anything was missed from
your review for the above changes, and I will get any remaining items
addressed ASAP.

Also James, how do you prefer this series be sent out for the initial
merge in order avoid the vger lists max character limit..?

Thank you,
