This is included for two reasons. First one is to demonstrate that
proposed interface is extensible. Second is that Micrisoft SVVP test 
requires this info (and much more) to be set in SMBIOS tables. Using
real HW value seams to be better than just provide some default one.
Perhaps scale it a little bit before passing to SMBIOS?
