Yifan Liu 0a1ad45b32 hv: Avoid using SMBIOS major version
Previously it is (falsely) assumed that the major_ver of 32-bit SMBIOS
entry point structure (which is called SMBIOS 2.1 in spec, or SMBIOS2 in code)
will have a value of 2 and major_ver of 64-bit SMBIOS (which is called SMBIOS
3.0 in spec, and SMBIOS3 in code) will have a value of 3. This turned out to be
wrong. This major_ver refers to the implemented doc revision, and 32-bit SMBIOS2
can have its major_ver to be 3 (current most recent implementation).

This patch removes the use of major_ver to distinguish between
SMBIOS2/3, and use a doc-defined anchor string instead.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
