The one thing I worry about is if you aren't including the BIOS
version in the DMI list, you could end up in a situation where one
version of the BIOS treats OSI(Linux) as a no-op, but a newer or an
older version of the BIOS actually does something with it....
BIOS writers can be sneaky that way. :-)
