Description of problem:
dmidecode version is too old and is not aware of the /sys/firmware/efi/systab file that needs to be used on Itanium with Linux 2.6.6-rc3 and up.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  # dmidecode 2.2

dmidecode v2.5 seems to be the first release to address this.
