That would make the option useless for most users. You might as well
not bother merging then.
I believe 99.(9)% of users prefer don't patch kernel, if possible.
first, only then enable that option, then rebuild the kernel. (I'm

That was such a ridiculous suggestion, I didn't take it seriously.
Also it should be really not rocket science to use a separate

Sorry, what do you mean? If usage of something like a hash table to map
pages to the corresponding iSCSI commands, this approach was evaluated
and rejected, because it wouldn't provide much performance increase,
which would worth the effort. See details in the end of the patch
