 Agreed, but it works in 6.0 and 6.1. My opinion is that this is a reasonable work around for
 the 6.x lifecycle until the "stable" tree moves to 7.x, and we get SMBIOS support.
 
 I could beg for MFC'ing SMBIOS support, but I think it'd be a much tougher sell, and I doubt
 I can talk anyone in to it for 6.1. :)
