Hi All,

Would appreciate feedback on this patch.

Thanks in advance,
Wim.

commit 4956e4e5e77b5a8f87bcfe6127ef17a406edf94b

    [PATCH] SMBIOS/DMI - add type 41 = Onboard Devices Extended Information
    
    From version 2.6 of the SMBIOS standard, type 10 (On Board Devices Information)
    becomes obsolete. The reason for this is that no further fields can be added to
    this structure without adversely affecting existing software's ability to
    properly parse the data.
    
    Therefore type 41 (Onboard Devices Extended Information) was added.
    The structure is as follows:
    	struct smbios_type_41 {
    		u8 type;
    		u8 length;
    		u16 handle;
    		u8 reference_designation_string;
    		u8 device_type;		/* same device type as in type 10 */
    		u8 device_type_instance;
    		u16 segment_group_number;
    		u8 bus_number;
    		u8 device_function_number;
    	};
