This is what I have right now,

	0x0001	ip=		IP configuration
	0x0002	BOOTIF=		Boot interface MAC
	0x0004	SYSUUID=	System UUID
        0x0008  SYSVENDOR=      System vendor name
        0x0010  SYSPRODUCT=     System product name
        0x0020  SYSVERSION=     System version
        0x0040  SYSSERIAL=      System serial number
        0x0080  SYSSKU=         System SKU
        0x0100  SYSFAMILY=      System family
        0x0200  MBVENDOR=       Motherboard vendor name
        0x0400  MBVERSION=      Motherboard version
        0x0800  MBSERIAL=       Motherboard serial number
        0x1000  MBASSET=        Motherboard asset tag
        0x2000  BIOSVENDOR=     BIOS vendor name
        0x4000  BIOSVERSION=    BIOS version
        0x8000  SYSFF=          System form factor

I'm getting very hesitation to add much more as unsolicited information
at this time.  CPU feature and memory information is complicated and
have the potential to grow without bounds both in terms of maintenance
and size... I'm not 100% sure I cherish that particular idea.
