No problem. I will have that shortly posted.

Yup.

Hehe.. I will make it simpler :-)

I will have a new version posted quite shortly.

It was meant to be as a binary value. But that doesn't fit in sysfs directory,
so let me make it use sprintf here.

Absolutely.

I did use checkpatch.pl v0.99 downloaded somewhere from the web. I hadn't
realized it was now residing in scripts/checkpatch.pl - and from now on I will
use that.

I was not sure where to put it. This function (find_ibft) is used by the
setup_[32|64].c and the iscsi_ibft.c code. Randy suggested I put in .c file,
but I am not sure exactly where? Should I make a new file in called
libs/iscsi_ibft_helper.c ?

Absolutely no reason at all. It was a evolution vestige of the code that is
not needed anymore.

Thanks. Will remove it.

Thank you for taking your time to review the code. I will have the new
version out shortly.
