But what happens for /home on iscsi? It's the same story, isn't it? So
why is / handled differently than /home in this respect?

In a systemd world we can fix this in a much nicer way:
libvirtd.service would just have a "Wants: iscsid.service" in it. That
way when libvirtd is started iscsid is started too. And if people use
iscsid in other areas too they can just add a single symlink
(/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/iscsid.service →
/lib/systemd/system/iscsid.service) and it is started on boot, regadless
whether libvirtd is enabled or not.
