The SMBIOS 2.1 entry point uses a uint16 data type for reporting the total length of the tables. If the user passes -smbios configuration to QEMU that causes the table size to exceed this limit then various bad behaviours result, including - firmware hangs in an infinite loop - firmware triggers a KVM crash on bad memory access - firmware silently discards user's SMBIOS data replacing it with a generic data set. Limiting the size to 0xffff in QEMU avoids triggering most of these problems. There is a remaining bug in SeaBIOS which tries to prepend its own data for table 0, and does not check whether there is sufficient space before attempting this.
