I'd like to move our call to dmi_scan_machine up earlier in the boot process so that we can take advantage of a DMI hook, called out of acpi_early_init, to enable _OSI(Linux) on Xen HVM domains. Since the SMBIOS parsing makes use of ioremap, which Bjorn pointed out is fragile early in boot, I'm reluctant to move this too much earlier. Given those restrictions, it seems best to simply move this up into our check_bugs function. Since the DMI hooks are mainly used for adjusting code path based on platform, it doesn't seem like such an unreasonable place to set it up. Please let me know if you have comments.
