x86/platform changes for v7.1:
- Remove M486/M486SX/ELAN support, first minimal step (Ingo Molnar)
- Print AGESA string from DMI additional information entry
(Yazen Ghannam, Mario Limonciello)
- Improve and fix the DMI code (Mario Limonciello):
- Correct an indexing error in <linux/dmi.h>
- Adjust dmi_decode() to use enums <linux/dmi.h>
- Add pr_fmt() for dmi_scan.c to fix & standardize
the log prefixes
