In a DMI database of 113 PC models that we have worked with here:

112 have correct/meaningful sys_vendor, 1 is useless (To be filled by OEM)
106 have correct board_vendor, 7 have incorrect or useless values

And awkwardly the one system that I'd like to match in UCM rules here
has correct sys_vendor but bad board_vendor.
