The goal of this work is to remove the explicit dependency for ctl(4)
on iscsi(4), so end-users without iscsi(4) support in the kernel can
use ctl(4) for its other functions.
This allows those without iscsi(4) support built into the kernel to use
ctl(4) as a test mechanism. As a sidenote, this was possible around the
10.0-RELEASE period, but made impossible for end-users without iscsi(4)
between 10.0-RELEASE and 11.0-RELEASE.
Automatically load cfiscsi(4) from ctladm(8) and ctld(8) for backwards
compatibility with previously releases. The automatic loading feature is
compiled into the beforementioned tools if MK_ISCSI == yes when building
world.
Add a manpage for cfiscsi(4) and refer to it in ctl(4).

for USB OTG-capable hardware to implement device side of USB
Mass Storage, ie pretend it's a flash drive. It's configured
in the same way as other CTL frontends, using ctladm(8)
or ctld(8). Differently from usfs(4), all the configuration
can be done without rebuilding the kernel.
Testing and review is welcome. Right now I'm still moving,
and I don't have access to my test environment, so I'm somewhat
reluctant to making larger changes to this code; on the other
hand I don't want to let it sit on Phab until my testing setup
is back, because I want to get it into 11.1-RELEASE.

It actually doesn't - "device ctl" automatically pulls in ICL, which
would normally be a part of iscsi.ko. However, doing it that way makes
iscsi.ko unloadable, and building ctl.ko without iscsi.ko (using
MODULES_OVERRIDE) results in ctl.ko that is unloadable, due to missing
symbols that would be resolved to iscsi.ko. And since the symbols
are named "icl_whatever", it's not obvious that it's iscsi.ko that's
required.
If there is a better way - let me know.
