Some ethernet adapter vendors are supplying products which support optional (payed license) features. On some adapters this includes a hardware iscsi initiator. The same adapters in a normal (no extra licenses) mode of operation can be used as a software iscsi initiator. In addition, software iscsi boot initiators are becoming a standard part of many vendors uefi implementations. This is creating difficulties during early boot/install determining the proper configuration method for these adapters when they are used as a boot device. The attached patch creates sysfs entries to expose information from the acpi header of the ibft table. This information allows for a method to easily determining if an ibft table was created by a ethernet card's firmware or the system uefi/bios. In the case of a hardware initiator this information in combination with the pci vendor and device id can be used to ascertain any vendor specific behaviors that need to be accommodated.
