Starting with commit a799c2bd29
("x86/setup: Consolidate early memory reservations")
memory reservations have been moved earlier during the boot process,
before the execution of the Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization code.
setup_arch() calls the iscsi_ibft's find_ibft_region() function
to find and reserve the memory dedicated to the iBFT and this function
also saves a virtual pointer to the iBFT table for later use.
The problem is that if KALSR is active, the physical memory gets
remapped somewhere else in the virtual address space and the pointer is
no longer valid, this will cause a kernel panic when the iscsi driver tries
to dereference it.
iBFT detected.
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888000099fd8

Fix this bug by saving the address of the physical location
of the ibft; later the driver will use isa_bus_to_virt() to get
the correct virtual address.
N.B. On each reboot KASLR randomizes the virtual addresses so
assuming phys_to_virt before KASLR does its deed is incorrect.
Simplify the code by renaming find_ibft_region()
to reserve_ibft_region() and remove all the wrappers.
