NAK, this clearly introduces bugs and changes sysfs output (ABI).

Typically this type of change is pointless churn that creates far more
problems than it "solves."

This data is interpreted programmatically, as the comments at its usage
site indicate. This change is likely to break stuff.

blatantly and obviously wrong:

1) this is a BIOS-provided data structure. this patch just broke PCI-X
detection in edd.

2) the string length comparison is obviously wrong, even if problem #1
was not present

bugs galore: these strings match DMI data.

ABI breakage: this is exported through sysfs.

I stopped reviewing here. I presume there are more bugs, and ton more
pointless churn in the latter 60% of the patch.

This patch introduces big diffs to several drivers for little or no
value AFAICT.
