But what happens for /home on iscsi? It's the same story, isn't it?

In a systemd world we can fix this in a much nicer way: libvirtd.service would just have a "Wants: iscsid.service" in it. That way when libvirtd is started iscsid is started too. And if people use iscsid in other areas too they can just add a single symlink (/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/iscsid.service → /lib/systemd/system/iscsid.service) and it is started on boot, regadless whether libvirtd is enabled or not.
