This patch adds configuration variables for iSCSI to set
initiator-name to use when logging in to the target,
which type of header-digest to negotiate with the target
and username and password for CHAP authentication.

This allows specifying a initiator-name either from the command line
-iscsi initiator-name=iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
or from a configuration file included with -readconfig
[iscsi]
  initiator-name = iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
  header-digest = CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
  user = CHAP username
  password = CHAP password

The patch also updates the manpage and qemu-doc

I think you should issue an error here. 
Why should a user give a user name without it's password?
