> Attached is a patch with changes in iSER API.
> 1. Got rid of iscsi entities stuff, now iser implies a single 
> iscsi entity. 
> 2. Connections are established using iser sockets. 
> The iser module registers itself as a new socket provider. 
> Connections are established by creating and connecting a socket.
> Then iscsi should call a new iser_conn_bind() api function. 
> It associates an instance of struct socket * with a pair of 
> reciprocate connection handles. 
> All further api calls identify the connection using these handles. 
> Finally, conn_terminate() releases the socket as part of the 
> connection shutdown routine.
> Files added: iser_socket.c, iser_socket.h
> 3. Some cosmetic changes included, too. 
> Files deleted: iser_pdu.c, include/iser_types.h, include/iser_pdu.h 
> Some leftovers from the deleted files in include/*.h moved 
> into include/iser_api.h.
