[PATCH] DMI: log system, BIOS, and board information

From: Bjorn Helgaas
Date: Wed Sep 29 2010 - 14:24:10 EST



Put basic system information in the dmesg log. There are lots of dmesg
logs on the web, and it would be useful if they contained this information
for debugging platform problems.

DMI often doesn't supply a board name, but I assume the others are pretty
standard.
