I have searched the archives and seen some old posts about SCSI not compiling with UML. Since than I have seen some post on the net of the like http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/12/200. (which does not apply but the Idea is clear and can be done by hand).
Now when carefully configured I can compile the SCSI and iSCSI layers.

[Q] I have worked on below patch but now SCSI is on by default. (As in the regular kernel). Is there a way to include the original Kconfig from drivers/scsi but override it's defaultness?

[Q2] Are there more deeper implication than meet the eye, why SCSI-iSCSI cannot run in a UML? It might have good performance 2.

Not directly - but you can patch it to read:
default y if !UML
such patches get accepted without problems, at least when approved by Jeff or me.

I cannot see any conceptual ones, since iSCSI works over the network, unless there is any dependency on a hardware device which I cannot see.
