Hello,

This patch is in continuation of an earlier discussion -

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=126712978908314&w=3

The patch has the following review suggestions from the community incorporated -

1. The name of the attribute has been changed from "smbiosname" to "label" to hide
the implementation details.
2. The implementation has been moved to a new file drivers/pci/pci-label.c
You've changed the name, which is good, but the implementation is still
100% dependant on ACPI or DMI AFAICS.

So it seems to me until it's supported on another platform it may as
well go in pci-acpi.c, or at least only be compiled if (ACPI || DMI).
Otherwise it's just dead code.

cheers
