iSCSI PDUs might spawn over multiple TCP segments, it is unclear to me how to 
do placement without keeping some state of the transactions.

You keep a flow table with buffer IDs and offsets.

The S2IO guys did something similar for one of their initial LRO
impelementations.

It's still strictly stateless, and best-effort.  Entries can fall out
of the flow cache which makes upcoming data use new buffers and
offsets.

But these are the kinds of tricks you hardware folks should be
more than adequately able to design, rather than me. :-)
