PATCH 1/1 2.5.30 ARCH=i386 create dmi_scan.h and move decl from dmi_scan.c

Hello Linus,
Alan suggested that sensors group use a dmi scanner to manage allow/blacklist products. In order to do this we need to use arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c components.

Could you apply the following patch to facilitate this? Its been tested in linux-2.5.30 with no negative impact on kernel and may be useful for others.

Thanks,
Albert
