commit 46ee8349d22d11ec4b8609c5bf14db9409eef974

    update bios date
    
    Linux ignores some information from acpi in case the bios is old
    as acpi support used to be buggy in the early days.  This affects
    ressources for example (unless forced with pci=use_crs).  So lets
    go for something more recent.  With this patch applied the
    ressources for \\SB.PCI0 will show up in /proc/{iomem,ioports},
    tagged as "PCI Bus 0000:00".

Guest fingerprint changed for pc-1.0!

Can we make the bios date set from fw_cfg?  We really can't change the
SMBIOS information unconditionally like this.
