Subject: [PATCH 3/10] x86 boot: add header comment to dmi.h stating what it is
Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 08:15:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080514151516.148486.56588.sendpatchset@jackhammer.engr.sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080514151504.148486.32236.sendpatchset@jackhammer.engr.sgi.com>
From: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>
The "dmi.h" file did not state anywhere in the file what "DMI" was.
For those who know, it's obvious. For the rest of us, I added a
brief opening comment.
