281e36cbaf causes FlexBoot iSCSI errors

[Robert LeBlanc]

281e36cbaf : iscsi-target: Drop work-around for legacy GlobalSAN initiator

Causes "No response for proposed key "FirstBurstLength"." when the
target is running 4.9.32. We tested both FlexBoot 3.5.109 and 3.5.110.
If we revert 281e36cbaf then FlexBoot 3.5.109 boots fine, but FlexBoot
3.5.110 fails with messages "cmd exceeds last lba 64 (lba 64, sectors
1)".

It seems that FlexBoot has relied upon the workaround that now has been removed.

We have had to revert the patch and downgrade the firmware to get
things working again.

Bart,

Thanks, I'll report to them as well. I do think the commit is the
right approach and that FlexBoot needs to be fixed to more closely
follow the standard, which there should be some Mellanox folks here
that can get the ball rolling in that regard.
