Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dmi: save OEM defined slot information

Hello,

This patch from Alex Chiang exports onboard device information as defined by 
SMBIOS type 209 for HP Proliants systems.


From: Alex Chiang <achiang@...com>

Some legacy platforms provide onboard device information in an SMBIOS OEM-
defined field, notably HP Proliants.

This information can be used to provide information to userspace that allows
correlation between a Linux PCI device and a chassis label.

Save this information so that it can be exposed to userspace. We choose the
string "Embedded NIC %d" since there are known platforms from other vendors
(Dell) that provide a string in this format for their onboard NICs (although
theirs is provided by a Type 41 record). This consistency will help simplify
life for userspace tools.

Only support HP platforms for now. If we need support for another vendor in
the future, we can write a fancier implementation then.

This code was inspired by the implementation in the userspace dmidecode tool,
which was originally written by John Cagle.
