I'm still wondering if this is the right level of narrowness.  Does the 
quirk only apply to a single BIOS vendor?  Or any other sysfs attributes 
that can be generic to all affected systems?

Also would it perhaps make sense to rename dmi_matched to 
dmi_matched_7k62_bios_bug and then in dmi_matched_7k62_bios_bug check 
the model/family match.  In that function you can only set
quirks = dmi->driver_data

If the right CPU applies then too.
