No, in dmi_setup() we exit early when !dmi_available. So for arm/arm64
nothing changed. But for x86 and ia64 we no longer call dump_stack_
set_arch_desc() in this case. This is ok since both strings,
dmi_ids_string and dump_stack_arch_desc_str, are initialized zero and
copying one to the other does not change anything.
