Isn't the right answer to let the presentation layer fix up such things?
Do we removing such whitespace anywhere else? I don't think so...
Passing the 48 bytes passed from the CPUID instruction is probably what
we still want to do on x86.. Another point is that we get this stuff
from /proc/acpi, yuck, and g-s-m is already using it so it needs to be
ported over to something in /sys some day...
