RHEL 6.x are still with 2.6.32...

So under UEFI mode installation, users need to input iscsi target info
again during selecting storage for installation. Because kernel does
not to parse that from acpi iBFT table.

When legacy mode iscsi installation is used, installation program will
not need user install those info again.

QA are complaining that difference.
