AFAIK it's SCSI over FC, SCSI over IP was next probably to eliminate 
expensive FC, that was "invented" first to make things more expensive.
looks like politicians - first they get 1000$, then give 100$ back and 
say how much they gave ;)

anyway - for already existing iSCSI devices driver won't hurt of course, 
but i'm sure nobody that understand things won't invest in such 
technologies.
