Could theoretically cause a regression if some weird serial number scheme contains the string "VMware" by pure chance. Seems unlikely, especially with the mixed case. In some user configured cases, VMware may choose not to put a VMware specific DMI string, but the product serial key is always there and is VMware specific. Add a interface to check the serial key, when checking for VMware in the DMI information. Signed-off-by: Alok N Kataria Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
