It's on http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2009-February/013021.html

It is still kind of hardcoded. We use the patch (and libsmbios) in
general in Ubuntu since we are currently stabilizing on 2.6.28. I
assume we'll entirely get rid of it in the next Ubuntu version which
will probably ship with 2.6.30.
