Hmm, although dmidecode does only package for i386 and amd64 on OpenBSD,
dmidecode is also available for ia64 and arm64 in principle.
OTOH, dmidecode requires kern.allowkmem=1 in securelevel=0, which at
least I do not usually do. So I thought shortly about completely
removing the dependency and adding a pkg-readme.
But finally, hw-probe 'as-is' tests for the availability of dmidecode
exactly on i386 and amd64 BSDs, which is reflected in your patch.
So for me it's OK, I'd say.
