because it is easy to build a very low-cost iscsi target box with xscale

i think the point here is why? why we need to get iet work with it from
a open source project point of view. if our goal is to build a solid
target and push into linux kernel. then this ioe stuff is not our path.
if the goal is to setup a company to have both open source solution and
commercial one, that might be the purpose.

yes, the more people use iet, the more people buy their chips. but
still, what is our point here.

yes, we can discuss all kinds of possibilities here. :P
