[PATCH 2.4] i386/dmi_scan updates

[PATCH 2.4] i386/dmi_scan updates

[Jean Delvare]

Hi everyone,

I have been working on Alan's userspace program "dmidecode" recently, and made some fixes to it. It happens that this userspace program shares some code with linux/arch/i386/dmi_scan.c, so I thought it would be a good idea to backport the changes that apply to the linux kernel tree. I have been writing patches for Linux 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5.

This specific patch applies to the Linux 2.4 tree and has been built against 2.4.20-pre8.

Main changes:
 - Verify the DMI entry point structure checksum.
 - Start looking for the DMI entry point from 0xF0000, not 0xE0000.
 - Fix an off-by-one error causing the last address scanned being
   0x100000, not 0xFFFF0 as it should.
 - Do not display the DMI version if it would be 0.0.
 - Remove senseless tests in dump (debug) code.

Other changes are simple cleanups and should be straightforward to understand.

All comments are of course welcome.
