Subject: [PATCH 13/17] dmidecode: Clarify error message on table read failure
Stop using the term "unreachable" when the DMI table can't be read. It
originates from the /dev/mem access method, but no longer makes sense
when reading from sysfs or from a binary dump file.
Also don't suggest building with -DUSE_MMAP if reading from sysfs, as
it wouldn't help anyway.
