At least for pre-production hardware we should not accept quirks like 
this.  Vendors should populate their BIOS properly.

But I gather this is a production hardware and the vendor made a 
mistake.  In this case I guess the vendor doesn't make Linux BIOS update 
easy either, and thus the reporter suffers.

So maybe we should let this one go, but let's look through these closely 
if more come.

We really don't want to end up with a giant quirk table of BIOS mistakes.
