Starting with commit a799c2bd29d1
("x86/setup: Consolidate early memory reservations")
memory reservations have been moved earlier during the boot process,
before the execution of the Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization code.
setup_arch() calls the iscsi_ibft's find_ibft_region() function
to find and reserve the memory dedicated to the iBFT and this function
also saves a virtual pointer to the iBFT table for later use.
The problem is that if KALSR is active, the physical memory gets
remapped somewhere else in the virtual address space and the pointer is
no longer valid, this will cause a kernel panic when the iscsi driver tries
to dereference it.
iBFT detected.

Fix this bug by saving the address of the physical location
of the ibft; later the driver will use isa_bus_to_virt() to get
the correct virtual address.
N.B. On each reboot KASLR randomizes the virtual addresses so
assuming phys_to_virt before KASLR does its deed is incorrect.
Simplify the code by renaming find_ibft_region()
to reserve_ibft_region() and remove all the wrappers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
