[PATCH resend v2] arm64: dmi: Add SMBIOS/DMI support

From: Yi Li <yi.li at linaro.org>

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.

Changes since previous version:
- changed double inclusion guard to arm64 flavour
- use kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) as GFP_ATOMIC is not needed
- do a sanity check on the size of the requested mapping
