Do process the connections from the iBFT block if the rd.iscsi.ibft or
rd.iscsi.ibft=1 argument is present.
This is supposed to fix what was originally reported by Kairui Song
<kasong@redhat.com> here: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/697
If an argument in form ip=eth0:ibft is specified, we'd first create a
wired connection with con.interface-name and then proceed completing it
from the iBFT block. At that point we also add the MAC address, so the
interface-name is no longer necessary..
Worse even, for VLAN connections, it results in an attempt to create
a VLAN with the same name as the parent wired device. Ooops.
Let's just drop it. MAC address is guarranteed to be there and does the
right thing for both plain wired devices as well as VLANs.
It is really not clear what the user could have meant by specifying a
bootdev= argument, and we deal with it just by ensuring a device with
that name whould come up.
We therefore pick a default connection if there's one (that is a
conneciton that we create if the device name is unspecified, as in
"ip=auto"), otherwise we create a new one.
The targets that involve the use of the `NetworkManager` library,
built in the `src` build file have been improved by applying a set
of changes:
- Indentation has been fixed.
- Set of objects used in targets have been grouped together.
- Aritificial dependencies used to group dependencies and custom
compiler flags have been removed and their use replaced with
proper dependencies and compiler flags to avoid any confussion.
This adds capability to hand over the network configuration from
OpenFirmware (and potentially other boot loaders with openfirmware
support such as U-Boot) to NetworkManager.
It's done analogously to ACPI/iBFT. In fact, the same ip=ibft command
line option is used, adding a more general ip=fw alias. This probably
deserves some documentation, but I'm not adding any at this time.

New code we want to add LGPL licensed to make it easier to share code
between libnm and the daemon.
The code in question was only recently added in commit b544f7243d
("initrd: add iBFT reader") and mostly written from scratch by Lubomir.
Some parts were adapted from earlier ibft code.

This is loosely based on nms-ibft-reader, but with some significant
changes. Notably, it parses /sys/firmware/ibft directly instead of
iscsiadm output.
iscsiadm is not available on early boot (perhaps it's too large) and
turns out that parsing sysfs directly is easier and more
straightforwared anyways. A win-win situation.
It is not useful alone, it's in a separate commit just for the sake of
easier review.
