Subject: About a dmi table decode

Hi, can I ask a question? Say, we can obtain the dmi_len  from the SMBIOS when
decoding the dmi table, dmi_len defines the table size as a maximum size. but ,
SMBIOS 3.0 can support more than 256kb size, That will lead to a mapping overflow
in the dmi_early_remap.

Thanks
