Fourth issue, applies to SRU also.
Currently, to get auto iscsi to work, you had to pass 'iscsi_auto'' and 'ip=' 
flags to the initramfs.
The suggested change would have a problem in the following scenario:
 a.) ip= provides correct / desired networking to bring up device 'eth0' 
(ip=::::eth0)
 b.) iscsi_auto is provided and the iBFT config also provides configuration for 
eth0 but provides *different* config.

Currently, 'ip=' config would get set.  With the provided patch, I'm not
sure if the iBFT data configuration would get applied or not.  If
iscsistart -N would *deconfigure* the ip= device, then that would break
a user.  If iscsistart -N says "oh, device is configured already, do
nothing", then we'd be OK.
