When the SMBIOS table is written to an address above 4GB a 32-bit table
address is not large enough.

Use an SMBIOS3 table in that case.

Note that we cannot use efi_allocate_pages() since this function has
nothing to do with EFI. There is no equivalent function to allocate
memory below 4GB in U-Boot. One solution would be to create a separate
malloc() pool, or just always put the malloc() pool below 4GB.

- Use log_debug() for warning
- Rebase on Heinrich's smbios.h patch
- Set the checksum for SMBIOS3

Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
---

(no changes since v4)

Changes in v4:
- Check the start of the table rather than the end

Changes in v2:
- Check the end of the table rather than the start.

All SMBIOS specifications since version 3.0.0, published 2015, allow
using a SMBIOS3 anchor in all cases. SMBIOS_MAJOR_VER == 3.

Our target is to keep the code size small. Why do you increase the code
size here?

Best regards

You drop SMBIOS2 in patch 8.

I cannot see from where you take such a requirement.
By chance it is fulfilled by the current definitions.
If this a leftover from debugging we should remove it.

Oh, I just assumed it was a requirement, perhaps. Yes we can remove
this, if you like. In fact perhaps we should remove all SMBIOS2 stuff
as a follow-up?
