Vladimir Serbinenko 7ad30299da efi: Deduplicate configuration table search function
We do table search in many places doing exactly the same algorithm.
The only minor variance in users is which table is used if several entries
are present. As specification mandates uniqueness and even if it ever isn't,
first entry is good enough, unify this code and always use the first entry.

Oliver Steffen 06edd40db7 guid: Unify GUID types
There are 3 implementations of a GUID in GRUB. Replace them with
a common one, placed in types.h.

It uses the "packed" flavor of the GUID structs, the alignment attribute
is dropped, since it is not required.

David Michael 688023cd0a smbios: Add a module for retrieving SMBIOS information
The following are two use cases from Rajat Jain <rajatjain@juniper.net>:

  1) We have a board that boots Linux and this board itself can be plugged
     into one of different chassis types. We need to pass different
     parameters to the kernel based on the "CHASSIS_TYPE" information
     that is passed by the bios in the DMI/SMBIOS tables.

  2) We may have a USB stick that can go into multiple boards, and the
     exact kernel to be loaded depends on the machine information
     (PRODUCT_NAME etc) passed via the DMI.
