ARM doesn't support DMI calls

We should decide on how we add other architectures like aarch64 from ARM64. There DMI calls don't work as there is no BIOS given. An example error message from Ray trying to run mmd on one of his devices:

mdd --dry-run

We might want to collect inxi -Fxxx outputs on several ARM devices we have access to and also decide if we want to create a separate Grafana dashboard to display the collected data to avoid conflicts with the Manjaro x86_64 distribution.

I silent the output for now and Frede is working on aarch64 support for get_cpuinfo: https://github.com/manjaro/mdd/pull/2
