Add smbios/dmi support on arm64 system, it depends on EFI boot.
Since SMBIOS is very important specification for the hardware vendors
, it describes the hardware informations like BIOS version,
serial number, physical layout of the ports and so on. All x86 and IA64
servers has supported this specfication. If ARM64 hopes to enter server
market, then SMBIOS needs to support on ARM64, and it has been included
as one important section in SBBR document from ARM.
This has been tested by dmidecode and lshw tools.

Changes since v1:
-Followed Ard Biesheuvel's suggestion to rebase the patch on
Matt Fleming's arm64-efi branch.
-Followed Mark Rutland's suggesiton to change the include header.
-Followed Grant likely's suggestion to enrich the SMBIOS background
and the reason why we need to enable the SMBIOS on ARM64 platform.
