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.

NMIPAddr contains an unnamed union. We have to either explicitly
initialize one field, or omit it.

initrd does not use keyfile API from "src/settings/plugins/keyfile",
hence it does not use nms_keyfile_utils_escape_filename() to add
the ".nmconnection" file extension.
I think that is problematic, because it also misses escapings which
are necessary so that NetworkManager will accept the file.
Anyway, the proper solution here would be to move the keyfile utility
functions to libnm-core, alongside base keyfile API. That way, it
could be used by initrd generator.
For now, just dirty fix the generated filename.

nm-initrd-generator scans the command line for options relevant to network
configuration and creates configuration files for an early instance of
NetworkManager run from the initial ramdisk during early boot.
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.
