Come on, this is just a stupid statement.  The whole point of putting
device management in userspace is so that everybody has the
flexibility to use whatever discovery mechanism they want.

I agree that the SRP and iSER protocols are basically equivalent at a
technical level: they both transport SCSI over RDMA.  If you want to
compare existing implementations, I'd much rather use my SRP driver's
1600 lines of code over your 14000+ lines of x86-only iSER on top of
10000+ lines of kDAPL (not even counting the iSCSI core).
