Comment:

 We have a 'manufacturing data' area in the BIOS flash, which is set aside
 for Quanta's use. It'll should contain this information.

 Ted, please could you tell us the layout of the 2KiB area in flash which
 we've allocated to Quanta?

 As soon as I know how to read it from the BIOS flash, I can make the
 information available to the rest of the kernel.
