iSCSI: F-bit in SCSI Response

["Robert D. Russell" <rdr@io.iol.unh.edu>]

Julian:

In draft 12 the F-bit in the SCSI Response PDU is now reserved,
whereas it was required to be 1 in draft 11.  Why the change?

Also, if this was changed to 1 because it "really doesn't matter
if it always has to be 1", then shouldn't the F=1 also be changed
in all the Response PDUs that now require it to be 1 (such as
Logout Response, Reject, Asynchronous Message, maybe others)?

In any case, we now have a minor inconsistency here as to how to set
the F bit on a Response PDU when, in fact, the bit has no meaning
(it does have meaning in a Login Response and a Text Response, for
example).
