That is b/c the ibft module parses the iBFT structure and this is the offset 
where
the reverse username attribute is at. You can insert a bunch of printks in the 
module and see data.

Better yet, try this attached tool. I wrote it up some time with a different 
purpose
in mind and just now converted it over to read from /dev/mem. Try it and see if 
the
data comes out looking valid.

(Last time I used it on an Intel NICs, they would insert 0xFF everywhere in the 
IBFT).

Try to use the IBM HS-20 (ibm-hs20-iscsi.lab.redhat.com, I think)
