I noticed a missing entry w.r.t. dmi_smbios_structure_type() in dmidecode.c:

--- include/linux/dmi.h	2011-07-24 17:14:34.000000000 -0600
+++ include/linux/dmi.h	2011-07-24 17:14:49.000000000 -0600
@@ -57,6 +57,7 @@
 	DMI_ENTRY_OOB_REMOTE_ACCESS,
 	DMI_ENTRY_BIS_ENTRY,
 	DMI_ENTRY_SYSTEM_BOOT,
+	DMI_ENTRY_64_MEM_ERROR,
 	DMI_ENTRY_MGMT_DEV,
 	DMI_ENTRY_MGMT_DEV_COMPONENT,
 	DMI_ENTRY_MGMT_DEV_THRES,

I got a hint something was up when I saw that dmi_decode() in
drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c says:

case 38: /* IPMI Device Information */

But DMI_ENTRY_IPMI_DEV == 37, so this should resolve the discrepancy.

I'm using 2.6.39, so I apologize if this information is out of date.
I'm not subscribed to the lkml; please CC me.

Cheers,
David
