First one is to demonstrate thatproposed interface is extensible. Second is that Micrisoft SVVP test requires this info (and much more) to be set in SMBIOS tables.
Can you elaborate a bit on the "and much more" part? Is this the stuff described in "SMBIOS "Designed for Windows" Logo Requirements" at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/firmware/SMBIOS.mspx ?
Using real HW value seams to be better than just provide some default one.
What downside does using a default value have? On the upside this patch would not be needed. - Sebastian
