Yikes.
Randy, thank you for spotting this and sending an e-mail my way.
It is all b/c we now use the 'struct acpi_table_ibft *ibft_addr' which
is gone when !CONFIG_ACPI.
Peter, if we did in an #ifdef !CONFIG_ACPI in iscsi_ibft.h and included
a copy of the old ibft_struct that should work.
Or we make the code dependent on CONFIG_ACPI (in the Kconfig
file).
Peter, Randy: Which option do you think makes more sense?

I think that you and Peter know more about that than I do.
I'd go for the Kconfig dependency.

Or we make that one structure be defined whether CONFIG_ACPI is enabled
or not.

For some reason it has always seemed to me that the term software
engineering contains some very optimistic assumptions about the
nature of reality.

Found a way that makes this go away. This is by including #include
<linux/iscsi_ibft.h> in the module and it fixed the problem.
