SMbios is important for server hardware vendors. It implements a spec for
providing descriptive information about the platform. Things like serial
numbers, physical layout of the ports, build configuration data, and the like.

This has been tested by dmidecode and lshw tools.

@WIll, Catalin:

Yi just informed me that this is *not* the patch he tested, and that
it needs to be changed to work correctly.

Apologies for adding yet more to the confusion around this, but please
DO NOT merge this.
