There was no way to directly add a table entry to the SMBIOS table,
even though the BIOS supports this.  So add a function to do this.
This is in preparation for the IPMI handler adding it's SMBIOS table
entry.

Are you planning to expose this via the command line?  Libvirt would
like the ability to set arbitrary name/value pairs in SMBIOS (such as
asset tag in the type 3 page), rather than the current limitation of
only being able to set pre-defined names in just type 0 and 1 sections.

Well, I wan't planning on it, I only did what I needed for IPMI. Adding a command line interface would be more learning that I can probably afford right now.
