This is attaching to configured iSCSI devices (which at a minimum
requires parsing configuration files to see if there are any devices
configured), not running a listening daemon.

SSH host key generation needs to be done in advance (don't want a
connecting socket to wait for that).  Maybe that could be done with a
separate firstboot-like service that gets disabled once run?
