[PATCH] I8K: use standard DMI interface

I8K: Change to use stock dmi infrastructure instead of homegrown
     parsing code. The driver now requires box's DMI data to match
     list of supported models so driver can be safely compiled-in
     by default without fear of it poking into random SMM BIOS
     code. DMI checks can be ignored with i8k.ignore_dmi option.
