SubjectRe: [PATCH] Add iSCSI iBFT support (v0.4.5)

The spec just mentions that iBFT table has to be "compatible with an ACPI
table format" and nothing else. In reality I've only tested this on x86_64
and i386. We can limit it to be X86 || IA64 but I wouldn't make it dependent
on ACPI - as this data does not necessarily have to be exported via ACPI.
