[Patch v2 1/2] firmware: dmi_scan: add symbol to get SMBIOS entry area

From: Ivan Khoronzhuk
Date: Mon Jan 26 2015 - 08:29:31 EST


There are situations when code needs to access SMBIOS entry table
area. For example, to pass it via sysfs to userspace when it's not
allowed to get SMBIOS info via /dev/mem.
