SMBIOS allows to pass down system information from the BIOS to the OS.
Its information is used on Linux to construct modalias entries for the
system in order to facilite module autoloading on specific hardware.
Adding it also allows package management software to target specific
packages when crosvm is used as the hypervisor (e.g. to pre-install
the helper daemons or a special vTPM driver).
This change has only been tested with Linux and implements the bare
minimum necessary to make a crosvm hypervisor detectable through DMI
data. As such it also skips over some required structures like BIOS
information that do not technically apply. The result is a hodgepodge
of standards: SMBIOS 3.0 provides a convenient 64-bit entrypoint
that we implement. However the structures are cut short to SMBIOS 2.0
standards as most of the fields are skipped. Linux deals just fine
with this, although some of the dmi/id files in sysfs will be empty
as a result.
The resulting modalias looks like this:
dmi:bvncrosvm:bvr0:bd:svnChromiumOS:pncrosvm:pvr:
The kernel prints this as part of startup:
SMBIOS 3.2.0 present.
DMI: ChromiumOS crosvm, BIOS 0
And for oops/panic:
Hardware name: ChromiumOS crosvm, BIOS 0
