 Well, the DECstation uses it for stuff like IRQ routing and system 
address map discovery, so some kind of enumeration will always be 
required.  Essentially the firmware gives you a system ID you have to 
infer the rest from.  Thus while not necessarily in <asm/bootinfo.h> such 
a list of system variations will have to live somewhere.
