objtool: Validate disassembler headers in libopcodes probegrafted
commit 3f2de814c059 ("objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries") tested for libopcodes availability by linking a test snippet with a forward declaration of disassemble_init_for_target(). However, testing symbol linkage with an extern declaration only verifies the presence of the library (.so/.a) and bypasses checking for development headers (binutils-dev). On systems where libopcodes is present without development headers installed, the probe succeeds, enabling BUILD_DISAS. Subsequent compilation of objtool then fails: fatal error: 'bfd.h' file not found 113 | #include <bfd.h> Additionally, the probe invokes $(HOSTCC) without $(HOSTCFLAGS), ignoring any sysroot or include flags specified for the host compiler. Fix this by including <bfd.h> and <dis-asm.h> directly in the test snippet, passing $(HOSTCFLAGS) so host compiler options are respected, and defining PACKAGE="objtool" to satisfy the configuration check in <bfd.h>.

+What: /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator
+Date: November 2007
+Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
+Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator directory will contain
+ files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table initiator data.
+ Usually this contains the Initiator name.

+What: /sys/firmware/ibft/targetX
+Date: November 2007
+Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
+Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/targetX directory will contain
+ files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table target data.
+ Usually this contains the target's IP address, boot LUN,
+ target name, and what NIC it is associated with. It can also
+ contain the CHAP name (and password), the reverse CHAP
+ name (and password)

+What: /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX
+Date: November 2007
+Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek <ketuzsezr@darnok.org>
+Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory will contain
+ files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table NIC data.
+ Usually this contains the IP address, MAC, and gateway of the NIC.

+What: /sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header
+Date: March 2016
+Contact: David Bond <dbond@suse.com>
+Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header directory will contain files
+ that expose the SIGNATURE, OEM_ID, and OEM_TABLE_ID fields of the
+ acpi table header of the iBFT structure. This will allow for
+ 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.
