I do not have a strong opinion either way. Yes, a 5-byte compare is more 
precise, but 4-bytes is very likely to be unique.  There is a spec 
(written in stone, as it were) that tells what the table looks like.  It 
says a 5-byte signature followed by a 1-byte version number.  Currently 
there is only one version, but rather than change the signature on 
future versions, we will change the version number.

That said, here is a new version that does a 5-byte masked quad-word 
compare to find the signature.

IBM Real-Time "SMI Free" mode driver

This driver supports the Real-Time Linux (RTL) BIOS feature.
The RTL feature allows non-fatal System Management Interrupts
(SMIs) to be disabled on supported IBM platforms and is
intended to be coupled with a user-space daemon to monitor
the hardware in a way that can be prioritized and scheduled
to better suit the requirements for the system.

The Device is presented as a special "_RTL_" table to the OS
in the Extended BIOS Data Area.  There is a simple protocol
for entering and exiting the mode at runtime.  This driver
creates a simple sysfs interface to allow a simple entry and
exit from RTL mode in the UFI/BIOS.

Since the driver is specific to IBM SystemX hardware (x86-
based servers) it only builds on x86 builds.  To reduce the
risk of loading on the wrong hardware, the module uses DMI
information and checks a list of servers that are known to
work.
