When support was added for falling back to SMBIOS data from the kernel
in /sys/class/dmi, we inadvertently stopped caring about the data parsed
directly from DMI tables as first priority. This caused a regression in
hwids from some OEMs that relied upon IDs that could only be properly built
from DMI tables, not the kernel /sys/class/dmi interface.
