** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
   * Add processor support from SMBIOS 3.6.0 in Jammy and Noble
     to enable new hardware in LTS release per SRU policy [1].
  
   * Backport of 1 relatively simple patch from dmidecode 3.6
     in Oracular to dmidecode 3.3 in Jammy and dmidecode 3.5 in Noble
  
  [Test Plan]
  
   * Check no regressions on current systems with SMBIOS < 3.6,
     i.e., no output changes in text and binary form.
