I'll work on this once Igor's above series is merged (which in turn depends on 
my series

Title:
  Extend uefi-test-tools to report SMBIOS location

Status in QEMU:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  UEFI helper app exposes the pointer to RSDP ACPI table that firmware 
allocates in guest's RAM
  but it doesn't do so for SMBIOS tables. Hence bios table test would skip 
testing SMBIOS tables
  to workaround shortcoming. This bug is a request to expose two new entry 
point fields (one for SMBIOS 2 and another for SMBIOS 3) so test could check 
SMBIOS tables when guest is started a with  UEFI firmware.
