I didn't notice, thanks for the heads up.

These I have already included in
  [PATCH 5/6] dmidecode: Add 3 memory device form factors and 1 type
which I posted to the list yesterday.

This references external specifications. At the moment we only support
Redfish protocol type. Unfortunately I don't have any example of an MCTP
implementation, and I'm reluctant to write the code if I can't test it.
So this is left for later, once actual MCTP implementations exist and
someone provides a dump of the DMI table so that I can work on it (or
someone else contributes the code).

We do not support type 44 yet, so these changes are not relevant.
They'll get implemented when we finally implement support for this
record type.
