Since the beginning of its existence, the pnpbios driver talks about
unknown tag '0x82' on one of my computers. The computer has Intel
D815EEA2 mainboard, BIOS has been updated quite recently. I added the
tag dump to printout and here it is:

PnPBIOS: Unknown tag '0x82', length '18': 82 12 00 49 6e 74 65 6c 20 46 69 72 6d 77 61 72 65 20

This 0x82 0x12 0x00 and then 'Intel Firmware'.

Anything to worry about? Are the next tags still correctly parsed? The
full dmesg is now

PnPBIOS: Scanning system for PnP BIOS support...
