If the intention is to support smbios(4) on non-x86, shouldn't it be added to a non-x86 KERNCONF file?

If the intention is to support smbios(4) on non-x86, shouldn't it be added to a non-x86 KERNCONF file?

IMO it's reasonable to do the moving/refactoring first to facilitate additional testing/experimentation, and add it to GENERIC kern confs later (when we're quite confident it is going to be completed, as here).

manu added inline comments.

So, it seems that smbios wasn't part of GENERIC as it was optional smbios here but now it is. That should be reflected in the commit.
