Henrik, I agree with you that it's silly to poke the hardware for a
string we KNOW will NEVER change :)
That being said, I too would love to live in a world where technical
common sense prevailed over bullshit lawyerly tactics, "corporate
strategies", and the ensuing FUD.

The AppleSMC contains two char[32] keys, OSK0 and OSK1, which are not
reported in the key count and index by default. These keys are used by
the OS X boot sequence, and normally don't matter when running Linux.
This patch creates a sysfs entry which reports the value of these keys
as an ASCII
