This patch is from Fedora. The problem is that some distros are starting
iscsid in anticipation that iscsi might be needed, and it turns out it
might never be :( So this patch has the iscsi tools start iscsid only
when they first need it for login/discovery.

The original patch had some Fedora start command hardcoded. I modified
that patch so in the attached, you set the startup command in
/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf. For upstream I just have it start iscsid. When I
merge the patch I will modify it to run some command in the init script
so that everything gets set up right (subsys locks get touched, and
modules are loaded).
