This came in here through the stable 5.4 tree with v5.4.74, and we have some
users of ours report that it results in kernel oopses and delayed boot on their

Blacklisting the be2iscsi module or reverting this commit helps, I did not get
around to look further into the mechanics at play and figured you would be
faster at that, or that this info at least helps someone else when searching
for the same symptoms.
