SMBIOS table pass-through is useful in supporting vendor/OEM specific
functionality in HVM guests. There are numerous OEM software packages and
drivers that depend on having certain SMBIOS tables surfaced in a guest for
their proper functioning. This also includes drivers and software needed for
device pass-through. This series of patches introduces support for SMBIOS
pass-through in the hvmloader. Both DMTF defined and OEM specific table
pass-through is supported.
