Is this a bug fix, or a new feature? What are the consequences
of it being missing? Is this important enough to go into the 7.2
release? (My default position would be "no", given this has been
like this on the virt board for a very long time.)
This is required by ARM SystemReady Virtual Environment [1]. As
described in the Arm SystemReady Requirements Specification v2.0
[2] page 9, 2.5.1 SystemReady Virtual Environment (VE) v1.0
requirements,: "FirmwareTestSuite (FWTS) must still be used" -> fwts
checks for the presence of SMBIOS type 19 table and fails the test in
this case.
