Thanks for taking a look. The only mention of the dmi/id I can find is
in Kconfig:

config DMIID
    bool "Export DMI identification via sysfs to userspace"
    depends on DMI
    default y
help
  Say Y here if you want to query SMBIOS/DMI system identification
  information from userspace through /sys/class/dmi/id/ or if you want
  DMI-based module auto-loading.


Are you suggesting that I create a list of the things in the /id node,
or something else?
