arm64: dmi: Add SMBIOS/DMI support
SMbios is important for server hardware vendors. It implements a spec for
providing descriptive information about the platform. Things like serial
numbers, physical layout of the ports, build configuration data, and the like.
This has been tested by dmidecode and lshw tools.
