This usually only happens in early preproduction systems. So far the BIOS always got fixed before they shipped to users. But it's still useful to have this option so that the early users have a workaround. It's difficult to maintain DMI strings for early systems, they are too bleeding edge and the entries would be stale as soon as the BIOS is fixed. -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only.
