[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#598773: Support multiple iSCSI target IPs in initramfs

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Hello Norbert,

I don't see anything wrong in adding it but does this really have a need ?
Once the real init is reached and the real iscsid daemon starts, it will login 
into all the target portals.

I see only a small window where you have only a single path to the LUN. 
Without the daemon, I'm not sure how the kernel will behave and track the 
multiple sessions.

BTW, why does multipath + iSCSI Root need multiple paths ? One single path 
should suffice.
