This patch set realizes the multi-IQN concept discussed in an earlier thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@redhat.com/msg16706.html
And here ..

The patch realizes an XML schema like the one below and allows libvirt to read through it
to create storage pools.
These XMLs when created using a virtualization manager realize unique VM to storage LUN
mappings through a single console and thus opening up possibilities for the following
scenarios -
* possibility of multiple IQNs for a single Guest
* option for hypervisor's initiator to use these IQNs on behalf of the guest
Change Log from v0.4:
1) Set default tab space to 4(Hopefully this is corrected this time ;) )
2) Review comments from Dave Allan
a) Use output of "iscsiadm -m iface" to search for existing iqn names in the
iface files.
3) Create new unique iface file names for user provided iqn names if the iqns are not
present in the existing iface files.
Change Log from v0.3:
1) Set default tab space to 4
2) Use Case Description for Commit Log
3) Review comments from Dave Allan
a) No initiator iqn in the xml would mean use of the default initiator iqn name
b) Initiator iqn provided would mean a unique session to be created using the provided
iqn name.
c) Single iSCSI session per pool
4) Added syntax in doc/schemas/storagepool.rng
There are no new errors introduced by this patch with "make check" and
"make syntax-check" tests.
