[PATCH} SMBIOS support

[PATCH} SMBIOS support

[Corey Minyard]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 327 bytes --]

The following patch adds support for reading the SMBIOS table (which 
contains system management information).  It's required for IPMI and has 
useful information in it.  But anyway, since I did the work, I thought I 
would post this.

It's relative to 2.5.9, but it should apply pretty cleanly to most other 
kernels.

Any reason for initialising it there instead of using a subsys_initcall
from smbios.c ?

Something this generic sounding should be static.

Worth adding a if (len>80) return here in case of crap biosen?
Or am I overly paranoid?

Can you control other orders within the subsystem?  Other things that 
come later in this subsystem might need it.  Actually, it might be 
needed before this, I've moved it to before the PCI initialization, 
since this contains interrupt information and possible PCI information.

It's actually supposed to be in a #ifdef DEBUG, and it should be static, 
too.

It's printing 16 hex characters every time, so it doesn't matter.  And 
it's only debug code, anyway.

I've attached another patch.

Use different types of _initcall. See include/linux/init.h

Ok, I overlooked the relationship of PCI to SMBIOS.
As pci is initialised with subsys_initcall, you could initialise
earlier by using core_initcall.

Ok.

We already have DMI table parsing code in 2.4 and 2.5. Its been there for
a very long time.  Please use that instead

Ah, now I see.  All the documentation I had referenced SMBIOS and didn't 
say much about DMI, so I searched around everywhere for SMBIOS, not for DMI.
