Enable DMI scanning on the MIPS architecture, this setups DMI identifiers (dmi_system_id) for printing it out on task dumps and prepares DIMM entry information (dmi_memdev_info) from the SMBIOS table. With this patch, the driver can easily match various of mainboards. In the SMBIOS reference specification, the table anchor string "_SM_" is present in the address range 0xF0000 to 0xFFFFF on a 16-byte boundary, but there exists a special case for Loongson platform, when call function dmi_early_remap, it should specify the start address to 0xFFFE000 due to it is reserved for SMBIOS and can be normally access in the BIOS. This patch works fine on the Loongson 3A3000 platform which belongs to MIPS architecture and has no influence on the other architectures such as x86 and ARM. Additionally, in order to avoid the unknown risks on the mips platform which is not MACH_LOONGSON64, the DMI config is better to depend on MACH_LOONGSON64. If other mips platform also needs this DMI feature in the future, the "depends on" condition can be modified.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
