Some utils, like dmidecode and smbios, need to access SMBIOS entry
table area in order to get information like SMBIOS version, size, etc.
Currently it's done via /dev/mem. But for situation when /dev/mem
usage is disabled, the utils have to use dmi sysfs instead, which
doesn't represent SMBIOS entry. So this patch adds SMBIOS area to
dmi-sysfs in order to allow utils in question to work correctly with
dmi sysfs interface.

v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/28/768
v4..v2:
firmware: dmi_scan: add symbol to get SMBIOS entry area
- used u8 type for smbios_header var
firmware: dmi-sysfs: add SMBIOS entry point area attribute
- replaced -ENODATA on -EINVAL
v3..v2:
firmware: dmi_scan: add symbol to get SMBIOS entry area
firmware: dmi-sysfs: add SMBIOS entry point area attribute
- combined in one patch
- added SMBIOS information to ABI sysfs-dmi documentaton
v2..v1:
firmware: dmi_scan: add symbol to get SMBIOS entry area
- used additional static var to hold SMBIOS raw table size
- changed format of get_smbios_entry_area symbol
returned pointer on const smbios table
firmware: dmi-sysfs: add SMBIOS entry point area attribute
- adopted to updated get_smbios_entry_area symbol
- removed redundant array to save smbios table

cannot ensure that the data as exported to userland is
without error either.
+ The firmware provides DMI structures as a packed list of
+ data referenced by a SMBIOS table entry point. The SMBIOS
+ entry point contains general information, like SMBIOS
+ version, DMI table size, etc. The structure, content and
+ size of SMBIOS entry point is dependent on SMBIOS version.
+ That's why SMBIOS entry point is represented in dmi sysfs
+ like a raw attribute and is accessible via
+ /sys/firmware/dmi/smbios_raw_header. The format of SMBIOS
+ entry point header can be read in SMBIOS specification.
+
DMI is structured as a large table of entries, where
each entry has a common header indicating the type and
length of the entry, as well as a firmware-provided
