[Bug 1262712] [NEW] [MRE] Backport iscsitarget 1.4.20.3+svn490 into Precise

[Stefan Bader]

Public bug reported:

Justification:

Impact: We will be using the Saucy kernel for HW enablement in the
12.04.4 images. This will again break the DKMS iscsitarget compilation.

Fix: While looking at the required changes to the DKMS source, the
remainder user-space part of the Saucy version of iscsitarget seemed
also bugfixes only. So it would make sense to just backport that package
completely for Precise.

Testcase:
- Created a VM running Precise
- Installed current version of iscsitarget + iscsitarget-dkms
- Created a file based iscsi target
- Install open-iscsi and used that to connect locally
- Upgraded iscsitarget + iscsitarget-dkms to proposed backport version
- Verified dkms module compiled for Precise kernel
- Rebooted VM and verified that the dkms module can be loaded and iscsi
  disk is accessible.
- Installed linux-generic-lts-saucy kernel
- Verified that dkms module got built and installed
- Rebooted VM in Saucy kernel and verified that iscsi disk is still usable.
