iSCSI in 7.0

Have to say I was very pleasntly shocked to see iSCSI initiator support
in the 7.0 overview.
Is this the right place to ask about it?
Specifically, does FreeBSD ensure that socket buffers are allocated from
a set-aside pool
for iSCSI data, so that iSCSI can be used for swap in a diskless
environment? (Perhaps
ideally it would be a mount-time option for this: its only really swap
that needs it after all)
Linux fails to do this for iSCSI or AoE or nbd and prone (perhaps
theoretically prone,
but its a worry) to deadlock when swapping over the network.
Also, is the framework support such that it could be extended to support
coraid AoE or
simple nbd like Linux, but without the limitation above?
Thanks
James
