Subject: [PATCH] Move dmi_scan_machine() call ealier

   I'd like to move our call to dmi_scan_machine up earlier in the boot
process so that we can take advantage of a DMI hook, called out of
acpi_early_init, to enable _OSI(Linux) on Xen HVM domains.  Since the
SMBIOS parsing makes use of ioremap, which Bjorn pointed out is fragile
early in boot, I'm reluctant to move this too much earlier.  Given those
restrictions, it seems best to simply move this up into our check_bugs
function.  Since the DMI hooks are mainly used for adjusting code path
based on platform, it doesn't seem like such an unreasonable place to
set it up.  Please let me know if you have comments.  Thanks,

	Alex
