Should we have a way to turn this off?

Ugh.  I really hate this sort of sharing.  Could dmi_scan.c go in
drivers/firmware/ or something instead?

Shouldn't this be wrapped in "#ifdef CONFIG_DMI"?

Sorry this feedback is so late.  I only looked at it because the
DMI stuff crashes HP sx2000 (and probably sx1000) boxes, probably
because of some memory attribute problem.  So I'll have more
feedback after I debug that ;-)
