Nic,

Why are these fixes are not included?

Target/iser: Fix initiator_depth and responder_resources
Target/iser: Avoid calling rdma_disconnect twice
Target/iser: Don't put isert_conn inside disconnected handler
Target/iser: Get isert_conn reference once got to connected_handler

They are sitting around for some time and  were supposed to make it to
3.17, I don't want these to miss 3.18 too...

Sagi.
