Good catch. Do I understand correctly that this does not fix any actual
bug because none of the entry types after DMI_ENTRY_SYSTEM_BOOT was
used in code so far?

As for the name, considering that we used DMI_ENTRY_32_MEM_ERROR for
type 18 (32-Bit Memory Error Information), I believe we should use
DMI_ENTRY_64_MEM_ERROR for type 33 (64-Bit Memory Error Information)
for consistency.

Thanks,
