RE: [iSCSI]: Key negotiation procedure proposal

[pat_thaler@agilent.com]

I agree. The only reason for a rejected key is that the orignator 
offered something that shouldn't have ever been offered or provided
a list with no acceptable options to the responder. There isn't any 
point in continuing the negotiation.

I think it's unnecessarily complex.  The "simple implementation" alone
is plenty.
