yes most of these are missing at the moment. I recently added
a new metric "hinv.map.scsi" that provides the mapping of disks
to scsi controllers, but things like CPU type, memory config,
disk controller names, etc are all missing. Below is the
current set of hinv metrics for IRIX - obviously not all of
these are meaningful on Linux (not yet anyway ;-)).

That's excellent! Please integrate your changes with the linux PMDA
and send me the patches - I'll add it in. Or, send me your source
and I'll integrate it. If your changes are huge, it may make more
sense to leave them in a seperate PMDA, what do you think?
