One idea the Dell folks suggested is walking the SMBIOS data table. That happens to be something I want to do as its the only good way I know to get
o Cache sizes on older machines o The type of monitoring device (lm78 etc) attached o slot information
I have user space code to walk these tables so I have a basis to attack this in 2.2.19
