I'm afraid this check is off by one and nobody noticed :-( I'll send a
fix-up patch.

Probably harmless in practice as I have never seen a system with a DMI
type 1 structure of exactly 24 bytes (would be 8 bytes for very old
implementations and at least 25 for anything even remotely recent), but
still not good. Sorry about that.
