>This is needed for the iSCSI offload boot.

>Snip from M. Christie:
>Note that we must bring up the interface before iface_setup_from_boot_context,
>because we will want iscsi_sysfs_get_host_no_from_hwaddress to be able to match
>a MAC to a iscsi host.  For some bnx2i cards, the card has to be ifupd for the
>iscsi interface to have a MAC. If it is not ifupd we have seen MACs with all
>zeros or no iscsi_hosts on different cards.
