It is understood this is already supported in a multi step way within the
current iSCSI specification.

If a target returns an initiator a list of 100 targets via a SendTargets=All
and the initiator turns around and logs in and out of each target to just
get the TargetAlias this leads to poor performance.  The suggested change
cuts this process to one step when possible and directly improves management
performance.
