iscsi and nbd

[Loïc Minier]

Hi

The vexpress flavor is used under QEMU; the SD card support isn't reliable at the moment, so it would be helpful if we could use nbd and/or iscsi to store stuff.

I don't really care if they are modules or built into the kernel though, as debian-installer can load modules from the initrd.

For iscsi, this is what Ubuntu enables on x86:

/boot/config-3.0-1-generic:CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP=m
/boot/config-3.0-1-generic:CONFIG_ISCSI_BOOT_SYSFS=m
/boot/config-3.0-1-generic:CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT_FIND=y
/boot/config-3.0-1-generic:CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT=m

and for NBD:

/boot/config-3.0-1-generic:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m

thanks!

PS: consider this for other flavors, at least OMAP which is also available for use on QEMU, but I'd vote for all flavors as our development kernels + development hardware would often benefit from speedy/stable remote fs.
