Subject: ibft: for UEFI machines actually do scan ACPI for iBFT
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad@xxxxxxxxxx>
For machines with IBFT 1.03 do scan the ACPI table for 'iBFT' or for
'IBFT'. If the machine is in UEFI mode, only do the ACPI table scan. For
all other machines (pre IBFT 1.03) do a memory scan if not found in the
ACPI tables.
