install to iSCSI target does not pick up iSCSI parameters from iBFT

As a workaround I was trying to add a simple pre-installation script to our (kickstart) installation along the lines of:

==
modprobe iscsi_ibft

if [ -e /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/target-name ]; then

  modprobe iscsi_tcp
  iscsid

  iscsiadm -m node -o new -T `cat /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/target-name` -p `cat /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/ip-addr`:`cat /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/port`
  iscsiadm -m node -l

fi
==

But found out that doesn't work either, because the iscsi_ibft module is not present in the installation environment.

Could this module please be added?

Apart from the suggested addition of iscsi_ibft, IMHO there is some code required to actually use that information.
I humbly offer the attached patch to use the information provided by the ibft to set up the iSCSI interface.

It is not perfect, though, because if /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/dhcp is not "0.0.0.0", dhclient3 would need to be started as well so the lease would be refreshed.

Adding iscsi_ibft and this patch caused my BX924 blade server to boot Ubuntu Server 12.04.
