Once ago Luc and I already thought of such a Milo helper file with
among other the kind of information which is actually harcoded in
identify.c. So the idea would be: Milo try very 'lightly' to detect
the box's model and then read revelant info from a file.

There I don't get you, what do you mean by 'change them directly from
the BIOS', the kernel never touch anything belonging to the BIOS,
isn't it ? It just gather infos Milo passed to it, so why do you want
to write something in the BIOS var ?
