Yep, as Nic noted, we're adding here an iscsi transport concept e.g in
the same manner Mike did libiscsi back in 2005/6 when the iser
initiator was pushed. This allows for multiple iscsi flavours to use a
common code  for common functionality. In the initiator area initially
there were iscsi tcp and iser, later few iscsi HW offloads were merged
too. Same story here. I think that the point is whether or not these
APIs are needed, since once we agree on that, we need an header file
and exporting of functions. As libiscsi.h resided under include/ it
makes sense to me for this include to be located there too.

Or.

Or.
