Subject: [Patch v2 2/2] firmware: dmi-sysfs: add SMBIOS entry point area attribute

There are situations when code needs to access SMBIOS entry table
area, but cannot use /dev/mem for this. As the table format is
consistent only for a version, and can be changed, use binary
attribute to give access to raw SMBIOS entry table area.
