Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header directory will contain files
that expose the SIGNATURE, OEM_ID, and OEM_TABLE_ID fields of the

identification of the creator of the table which is useful in
determining quirks associated with some adapters when used in
hardware vs software iscsi initiator mode.
