One idea the Dell folks suggested is walking the SMBIOS data table. That happens
to be something I want to do as its the only good way I know to get

        o       Cache sizes on older machines
        o       The type of monitoring device (lm78 etc) attached
        o       slot information

I have user space code to walk these tables so I have a basis to attack this
in 2.2.19
