* Added FibreChannel support for Lifecycle Controller inventory.
* Added support for Signed BIOS Update in accordance with the NIST SP800-147 guidelines.
* Fixed the SCT EFI Compliant Test Boot Services Table CRC32 error. (This is only a Microsoft certification test issue and does not affect normal operation.)
