(This patch parallels OvmfPkg commit 37baf06b (SVN r17676).)
PcdSmbiosVersion controls the version number of the SMBIOS entry point
table (and other, related things) that the universal
"MdeModulePkg/Universal/SmbiosDxe" driver, providing EFI_SMBIOS_PROTOCOL,
installs.
The "virt" machine type of QEMU generates SMBIOS payload for the firmware
to install. The payload includes the entry point table ("anchor" table).
OvmfPkg/SmbiosPlatformDxe cannot install the anchor table (because that is
the jurisdiction of the generic "MdeModulePkg/Universal/SmbiosDxe"
driver); however, we can parse the entry point version from QEMU's anchor
table, and instruct "MdeModulePkg/Universal/SmbiosDxe" to adhere to that
version.
As default for PcdSmbiosVersion we should keep the current 0x0300 value
(ie. SMBIOS 3.0) from "MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.dec"; that spec version
was specifically created for ARM / AARCH64 needs.
