mainlining shenanigans

Ensure that the SMBIOS entry point is long enough to include all the fields we need. Otherwise it is pointless to even attempt to verify its checksum. Also fix the maximum length check, which is technically 32, not 31. It does not matter in practice as the only valid values are 31 (for SMBIOS 2.x) and 24 (for SMBIOS 3.x), but let's still have the check right in case new fields are added to either structure in the future.

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.
