For machines with IBFT 1.03 do scan the ACPI table for 'iBFT'
or for 'IBFT'. If the machine is in UEFI mode, only do the ACPI
table scan. For all other machines (pre IBFT 1.03) do
a memory scan if not found in the ACPI tables.

The Author: line is unneeded and inappropriate here. That's what the
From: line does.

Your covering email indicates that Mike and Peter wrote the patches,
but neither of the patches have their signoffs. Can we please sort all
this out?


I did a small fix to ibft-update-ibft-handling-for-v103-of-the-spec.patch to get it to compile. It looks like that patch has a "Reviewed-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@xxxxxxxxxxx>". Feel free to change that to a Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@xxxxxxxxxxx> if needed.

I did not do any changes to ibft-for-uefi-machines-actually-do-scan-acpi-for-ibft.patch.

I tested both patches.
