commit e12ec26e19e02281d3e7258c3aabb88a5cf5ec1d Author: Jean Delvare <jdelv...@suse.de> Date: Mon Aug 26 14:20:15 2019 +0200 dmidecode: Only scan /dev/mem for entry point on x86 x86 is the only architecture which can have a DMI entry point scanned from /dev/mem. Do not attempt it on other architectures, because not only it can't work, but it can even cause the system to reboot.
