[PATCH v3 0/3] pc: Support configuration of SMBIOS entry point type

[Eduardo Habkost]

This includes code previously submitted[1] by Daniel P. Berrangé
to add a "smbios-ep" machine property on PC.

SMBIOS 3.0 is necessary to support more than ~720 VCPUs, as a
large number of VCPUs can easily hit the table size limit of
SMBIOS 2.1 entry points.

Changes from v2:
* Renamed option to "smbios-entry-point-type" for clarity
* Renamed option values to "32" and "64", for two reasons:
  * The option is not about reporting an exact SMBIOS
    version, but just the entry point format.
    FWIW, the SMBIOS specification uses the phrases "32-bit entry
    point" and "64-bit entry point" more often than "2.1 entry
    point" and "3.0 entry point".
  * QAPI doesn't allow us to use enum member names with dots
    or underscores
