Hello Linus,
Alan suggested that sensors group use a dmi scanner to
manage allow/blacklist products. In order to do this
we need to use arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c components.

Could you apply the following patch to facilitate this?
Its been tested in linux-2.5.30 with no negative impact on
kernel and may be useful for others.

Thanks,
Albert
