+ x86: more general identifier for Phoenix BIOS
+
+ Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk
+
+ Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies,
+ LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.)
+
+ This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table
+ more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both
+ versions are handled.
+
+ Again, the patched file compiles cleanly and the patch has been tested
+ successfully on my machine.
