      .An NBFT parser was added to `nm-initrd-generator`

      NVMe Boot Firmware Table (NBFT) is a standard method for firmware to pass network and storage configuration from the pre-boot environment directly to the operating system by using an ACPI table. The `nm-initrd-generator` utility now uses this parser to automatically detect and apply this configuration, and creates the necessary connections without manual setup. This implementation replaces the `95nvmf` module in `dracut` and relies on `systemd` automation for a more streamlined and robust boot sequence.

      We're planning to include the new NBFT initramfs module in RHEL 9.7 and this is the single most important piece among other required components. We're aiming to have everything in place before CTC1.
