I think,
/sys/firmware/ibft is created for iBFT if detected.
/sys/firmware/iscsi_bootX is created for hardware iSCSI if detected.
ip=ibft denotes we use iBFT, which is software based iscsi.
rd.iscsi.firmware denotes we use hardware iscsi.
Though "iscsistart -b" will handle both the cases, I don't think it's
good idea to mix these concepts.
One more thing, it seems ip=ibft is deprecated now and "rd.iscsi.ibft"
will take over.
Thanks
