Actually, this is pretty interesting. A quick google search gives me
just the fedora result and a link to a man page. This userspace I/O
daemon component is specific to Broadcom cards. Surprisingly neither
could I find a google result pointing to a Braodcom repository, nor (I
actually hoped) did I see it in the utils section of the open-iscsi package.
