Such LUNs will be visible to initiators, but return "not ready" status
on media access commands. If backing storage become available later,
`ctladm modify ...` or `service ctld reload` can trigger its reopen.
or I_T NEXUS LOSS, clear all minor UAs for the LUN, redundant in this case.
All SAM specifications tell that target MAY do it, but libiscsi initiator
seems require it to be done, terminating connection with error if some more
UAs happen to be reported during iSCSI connection.

Without clustering support we any way have only one group of permanently
active ports, but that gives us one more supported VMWare feature. ;)
Solaris' Comstar also reports it even when only one port is present.
It allows to bypass range checks between UNMAP and READ/WRITE commands,
which may introduce additional delays while waiting for UNMAP parameters.
READ and WRITE commands are always processed in safe order since their
range checks are almost free.
Before this change UNMAP completely blocked other I/Os while running.
Now it blocks only colliding ones, slowing down others only due to ZFS
locks collisions.

At this moment it works only for files and ZVOLs in device mode since BIOs
have no respective respective cache control flags (DPO/FUA).

sizeof(struct scsi_inquiry_data) of 256 bytes combined with off-by-one
error in the changed code gave total INQUIRY data length above 255 bytes,
that was maximal INQUIRY length in SPC-2. While SPC-3 increased the
maximal length to 64K, at least sg3_utils are still confused by that.

This allows to avoid extra network traffic when copying files on NTFS iSCSI
disks within one storage host by drag'n'dropping them in Windows Explorer
of Windows 8/2012. It should also accelerate Hyper-V VM operations, etc.

After I gave each iSCSI target its own port, the old limit appeared to be
not so big. This change almost proportionally increases per-LUN memory
use, but it is still three times better then it was before r268807.

CTL never had use for CA support code since SPI has gone, and there is no
even frontends supporting that. But it still was reserving 256 bytes of
memory per LUN per every possible initiator on every possible port.
Wrap unused code with ifdef's in case somebody even need it.

This allows to clone VMs and move them between LUNs inside one storage
host without generating extra network traffic to the initiator and back,
and without being limited by network bandwidth.
LUNs participating in copy operation should have UNIQUE NAA or EUI IDs set.
For LUNs without these IDs VMWare will use traditional copy operations.
Beware: the above LUN IDs explicitly set to values non-unique from the VM
cluster point of view may cause data corruption if wrong LUN is addressed!

That should make operation more kind to multi-initiator environment.
Without this, other initiators may find out that something bad happened
to their commands only via command timeout.
Testing shown that both original queued design with separate task queue,
and recent direct execution design had significant flaw: If abort request
arrives just after the victim, the last one may not be in the ooa_queue
yet, and so invisible for the task management function.
Unlike original queued implementation, use same queue for all SCSI and
TASK requests from the same initiator. That avoids races between them:
task functions are always executed in proper time, relatively to other
requests.
If port passed negative IID value, the function will try to allocate IID
from the pool of unused, based on passed wwpn or name arguments. It does
all its best to make IID unique and persistent across reconnects.
This makes persistent reservation properly work for iSCSI. Previously,
in case of reconnects, reservation could be unexpectedly lost, or even
migrate between intiators.
teardown, and new port creation during `service ctld restart`.
Close it by returning iSCSI port internal state, that allows to identify
dying ports, which should not be counted as existing, from really alive.
