Hmm, I'm not sure why you had to do that. I build on a totally
different system to the one I'm installing on (it runs a 2.4
kernel) and other than editing TOPDIR and KDIR everything worked
fine if I did a "make ARCH=xen", and then did a "make ARCH=xen install"
on the target system (it shouldn't rebuild anything, so you won't
need a compiler).

Adding a kernel command line parameter to do this would be tough
-- iscsid is a big daemon and setting up a connection to an iscsi
disk is really quite complex.
