This might be an x86 and ia64-specific CONFIG_* item:
Symbol: DMIID [=y]
Type : boolean
Prompt: Export DMI identification via sysfs to userspace
Location:
-> Firmware Drivers
Defined at drivers/firmware/Kconfig:91
Depends on: DMI [=y]
Symbol: DMI [=y]
Type : boolean
Prompt: Enable DMI scanning
Location:
-> Processor type and features
Defined at arch/x86/Kconfig:748
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# grep -rIn "config DMI" *
arch/ia64/Kconfig:104:config DMI
arch/x86/Kconfig:748:config DMI
drivers/firmware/Kconfig:91:config DMIID
drivers/firmware/Kconfig:100:config DMI_SYSFS
So all non-x86/ia64 systems (amd64/x86_64, too??) probably need to ignore
this CONFIG_* item.
