    hw iscsi like qla4xxx does not allocate a host per session and
    for userspace it is difficult to restart iscsid using the
    "iscsi handles" for the session and connection, so this
    patch just has the class or userspace allocate the id for
    the session and connection.
    
    Note: this breaks userspace and requires users to upgrade to the newest
    open-iscsi tools. Sorry about his but open-iscsi is still too new to
    say we have a stable user-kernel api and we were not good nough
    designers to know that other hw iscsi drivers and iscsid itself would
    need such changes. Actually we sorta did but at the time we did not
    have the HW available to us so we could only guess.
    
    Luckily, the only tools hooking into the class are the open-iscsi ones
    or other tools like iscsitart hook into the open-iscsi engine from
    userspace or prgroams like anaconda call our tools so they are not affected.
