The following are two use cases from Rajat Jain <rajatjain@juniper.net>:
1) We have a board that boots Linux and this board itself can be plugged
into one of different chassis types. We need to pass different
parameters to the kernel based on the "CHASSIS_TYPE" information
that is passed by the bios in the DMI/SMBIOS tables.
2) We may have a USB stick that can go into multiple boards, and the
exact kernel to be loaded depends on the machine information
(PRODUCT_NAME etc) passed via the DMI.
