    Since the beginning of its existence, the pnpbios driver talks about
    unknown tag '0x82' on one of my computers. The computer has Intel
    D815EEA2 mainboard, BIOS has been updated quite recently. I added the
    tag dump to printout and here it is:

    PnPBIOS: Unknown tag '0x82', length '18': 82 12 00 49 6e 74 65 6c 20 46 69 72 6d 77 61 72 65 20

    This 0x82 0x12 0x00 and then 'Intel Firmware'.

    Anything to worry about? Are the next tags still correctly parsed? The
    full dmesg is now

    PnPBIOS: Scanning system for PnP BIOS support...
    PnPBIOS: Found PnP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00f2480
