Maybe this is a sign that at least the iscsi target should stop
allocating its own pages and switch back to the core allocation, which
should be easily possible after the s/g list conversion.

I also wonder if keeping this special case for tcm_loop is a good idea -
it surely is a nice optimization, but then again tcm_loop is more a
debugging and testing tool than something we should optimize for.
