I didn't use it in the d-i integration code I wrote because at the level
I was working at it was easier to just use iscsiadm directly, but I
don't object to it being added.  I assume this is trivial enough that
there's no need for me to update my patch.

Sure - the code I wrote for Ubuntu doesn't support using an iBFT table,
so it makes sense to add that support.

Thanks,
