We seem to be doing them wrong -- going by the way we specify using them on the kernel commandline, we appear to only support booting directly to an iscsi or nbd lun, with no possibility of having an lvm or luks layer on top of the iscsi transport.

Am I missing some important doc or piece of code that implies otherwise?

If I am not, it seems like the obvious fix would be to decouple root= handling from setting up block devices, and give iscsi and nbd their own kernel commandline parameters. This should also make handling multipathing with iscsi easier, because we can just pass multiple iscsi= parameters to bring up all the luns, and then let multipathing do it's thing.
