LIO already support iser (starting kernel 3.10), and its implementation can accept rdma or tcp in the same target

A blueprint around this would be appreciated.  I have had similar thoughts around this myself, that these should be options for the LVM iSCSI driver rather than different drivers.

These options also mirror how we can choose between tgt/iet/lio in the LVM driver today.  I've been assuming that RDMA support will be added to the LIO driver there at some point, and this seems like a nice way to enable that.
