Bug description:
  When booting with iBFT, the network configuration is performed by
  open-iscsi as part of initramfs.local-top instead of by klibc-
  ipconfig.  This includes populating /run/net-*.conf which is consumed
  among other things, by cloud-init.

  Currently no attempt to determine PROTO is made, and PROTO=none is
  hard coded into the file which cloud-init does not recognise and
  crashes out.

  Further to this, open-iscsi in the current version (xenial through
  zesty) does not correctly parse the iBFT origin into the boot protocol
  in "iscsistart -f" and always returns "STATIC".  This is fixed
  upstream.
