[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] bios-tables-test: handle false-positive smbios signature matches

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

It has been reported that sometimes the .rodata section of SeaBIOS,
containing the constant string against which the SMBIOS signature
ends up being compared, also falls within the guest f-segment. In
that case, the test obviously fails, unless we continue searching
for the *real* SMBIOS entry point.

Rather than stopping at the first match for the SMBIOS signature
("_SM_") in the f-segment (0xF0000-0xFFFFF), continue scanning
until either a valid entry point table is found, or the f-segment
has been exhausted.

 - Added motivation for patch in commit log, as requested by mst
   (whom I forgot to cc on v2 -- D'OH!!! ) :)

 - Fixed s/withing/within/ as pointed out by eblake

Thanks,
  Gabriel
