please check back ported patch for 2.6.36 to 2.6.39

We don't need to this one for 2.6.32, because EFI/ACPI ibft detecting
is only added from 2.6.36.

but 2.6.32 base kernel still could take iscsi_ibft.c related changes
in the patch, and ignore conflicts with iscs_ibft_find.c.
but that will add new feature to 2.6.32. Not sure if stable tree
should take that kind of change.

Thanks

Yinghai
