Makes sense, but just after 3.6 was released upstream have changed the handling of u64 as in this commit: https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dmidecode.git/commit/?id=2fa4ab1a1d37303b81e701d7ed08ae70965ab96c I'm trying to figure out what that all means and see if I can apply patches to their head code. -- Chris Billington
