[PATCH] firmware: ACPI iBFT firmware support on EFI machines

[Hannes Reinecke]

The iBFT firmware tables can also be specified via ACPI tables
when using EFI firmware. The 'iscsi_ibft_find' module is only
for legacy X86 BIOS, so it needs to be skipped for all other
architectures.

If this is only valid for X86,  you probably want to add a dependency
on X86.  There are other architectures that use ACPI, notable ia64 and
arm64 in the not distant future.
