James has already merged the iSCSI patches into his git tree.
We are now waiting for him to merge the last ISER related patch that we
sent linux-scsi.

We think its more appropriate to push ISER through you and openIB.
To do so we'll need a single git tree that has open-iscsi, cma and iser.
This is why we ask you to update your git tree with James's iscsi-related
updates - your tree will have both the CMA, and iscsi, and then iser will build
against it.
