I know this is how IB SDP works, but I don't think iSER works this 
way.

The code in the tree calls dat_ep_connect() with a NULL private data 
pointer. 

There is an iSER HELLO message described in iser_header.h contains IP 
addresses, but I'm not certain that this is part of the current 
protocol (ISER_HELLO_LEN and ISER_HELLO_REPLY_LEN are unused).
