I have some changes in a stale local gate where you can do something
like the following..
   disk = [ phy:iscsi:[static]/<targetid>/<lun>/[serverIpAddr] ]

e.g.
   disk = 
['phy:iscsi:static/iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:17f34578-00a9-ef69-f3e9-b8a2896a4915/0/192.168.0.70,0,w']

if the mapping is static, the hotplug scripts
will dynamically add the target to dom0 on guest
boot and remove it on shutdown.

I need to refresh the code and clean it up.. If anyone
has any options or further enhancements in mind, I'd be
interested in hearing them.
