Why does cxgb3i need its very own DHCP client? This seems like
something that's generically useful to firmware-based iSCSI adapters.

(It would be better still if this could be left to user-space, but
although a user-space program could send out requests on the net device
using the iSCSI device's MAC address, I don't see how it would get
replies.)
