It doesn't matter.

I have some wonder about the target_id like be2iscsi which allocated from
iscsi_sess_ida. Should not we get the target_id from iSCSI target?
If they allocate target_id with an random value, how to handle the
iscsi_user_scan_session which would check the session's target_id.

I have no environment which deployed these iSCSI drivers like be2iscsi, so I
can not valid my guess.
