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.
