iSCSI identifies targets and initiators by world-wide unique name strings up
to 223 bytes in length.  An iSCSI initiator is additionally qualified by a
6-byte ISID value, and an iSCSI target is additionally qualified by a 16-bit
Portal Group Tag.  A full iSCSI I_T nexus is identified by the initiator
name string, the ISID, the target name string, and the portal group tag.
