the patch that got away...

Thanks, and I agree. I'll add a 

	if (bios_override && !bios_override_dmi)
		printk("You're using bios_override boot option. Please
report this and the output from dmidecode to <some at body>.");

somewhen once the PCMCIA subsystem is generally in a better shape so we can
focus on these workarounds. Also, as pointed out in some bug on bugzilla,
there might be other ways we should take instead... so I don't want to spend
too many cycles on this just yet.

Thanks,
