Oh, I believed that was optional, that's why I didn't mention
it... ;-)

But great to hear that this just appears to be a problem with the
user space tooling and not the kernel itself - that makes it quite
a bit easier to fix.

Anyway, great that that appears to work, and I'll wait for your
functional tests. If those do work out (i.e. you can use that device
from an initiator) I'll work on a patch for the targetcli command.
