SRP High Availability should enable an initiator to connect to the same target
several times, e.g., once from each IB port of the target.
Some targets do not support multichannel. In order to work with them as well
we will use another identifier_extension to the initiator port for each target
connection.

I think this is the best solution. It allows users to use all four physical
connections from the initiator to target.
It also allows users to have several logical connections on one physical
connection (If they want connection with different attributes - for example
different max_cmd_per_lun).
It is SRP spec compliant.
I also added a module param, so it is possible to turn this option off.
