Gmail makes it unnecessarily complicated, converting tabs to spaces.
Here's my attempt. If the in-body patch fails, below, I have attached
it as well as a backup.


Add a missing DMI type (DMI_ENTRY_64_MEM_ERROR).

Patch is against 2.6.39. I can resubmit against the latest git tree if
the patch doesn't apply cleanly.
