Hi,
Well done, thanks Chao.
Vivek/Bao/Minfei, could you review the patch as well?

Currently we retrieve all the necessary information of an iSCSI
session
and pass them to 2nd kernel. This is wrong way to go for hardware iscsi,
because dracut has already had its own infrastructure to do bring up any
iscsi device configured in firmware of an HBA (Host Bus Bridge).
This patch will determine if an iscsi session is established by firmware
configured iscsi. If it does, then we don't pass anything down to 2nd
kernel. dracut will handle it.
I read some iscsi code and I also talked with storage QE. It's confirmed
that software iscsi will use "tcp" transport class while hardware iscsi
will use like "be2iscsi" "bnx2i" transport class. It's ok to use
the transport name of an iface of a scsi session to determine hardware
iscsi or not. Additionally using "iscsi_firmware" "rd.iscsi.firmware"
to
determine if the system is iscsi boot, because dracut can only handle
this case.
Along this patch, I add the infrastructure of determine iBFT, but it's
not complete yet. Mark the part as "FIXME". Once customer is asking or
maybe I get hold of iBFT box, I can start working on it.
For non-root hwiscsi there's no kernel cmdline, you can put it in todo list
We can support root device firstly and see if it works well.
