I'm not sure of it's impact

Hi Mark,
I have seen that error message a number of times during different betas and often wondered what it meant because nothing seems to be missing or throwing up errors.

hwinfo: vm86 mode not supported on 64 bit kernel
Mark

This is just an informational message. x86_64 processors still support
vm86 mode (legacy emulation for DOS(!) applications), but not in 64 bit mode.

I'm not sure why hwinfo thinks it needs to announce this. But its harmless.
