The existing Ohai DMI plugin can capture this. It has a whitelist of
which types to include (OHAI-260 [1]), you'll need to add type 38 to
the whitelist. See here:

https://github.com/opscode/ohai/blob/master/lib/ohai/plugins/dmi_common.rb#L72

It seems like modifying that plugin to take an
Ohai::Config[:dmi][:id_to_capture] option would be nice.
