Makes sense to me.  My biggest doubt was whether this would make a
system that previously did not use iscsid now suddenly start to require
a service.  But if I understood 'man systemd.unit' correctly, adding an
'After=' without a 'Wants=' or 'Requires=' is valid, and merely means
that _if_ iscsid is enabled, then systemd will enforce the ordering, but
that libvirtd will manage just fine even when iscsid is disabled.

I'm not much of a systemd expert, so I'll wait until morning before
pushing, to give anyone else a chance to disagree with my analysis or
provide a more kosher fix.  Otherwise, you have my ACK, and I think this
deserves to be in 1.0.3.
