RDMA is added here along with ISER. Please add it separately with proper
justification and a test.

Additionally I'm unsure that the design proposed in this patchset is
entirely correct. According to the iSER protocol RFC 5046 iSER is meant
as an extension to the iSCSI protocol. Specifically it's layered on top
of any transport (called RCaP - "RDMA-Capable Protocol" in the RFC).

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5046#section-1.7

Trying to handle it as a transport is thus wrong ...

... and weird. E.g. this code could end-up formatting nbd+iser if the
protocol is not iSCSI in the else branch below.

I'm not even sure whether our use of 'rdma' makes sense, but iSER
appropriated as a transport seems to be even worse.

Unfortunately I don't have any other idea besides changing this to
another network storage protocol rather than transport.

If the design were okay, this would still require interlocking with
other protocols.

If 'transport' is NULL, this will crash on the first strneq. You'd have
to check it first.

This would assume that iSER has addressing equal to TCP, but if layered
on top of something else that might not be the case.
