Sasha,
There is no need in this patch for 3.18, only beginning from 3.19.

SMBIOSv3 is absent in k3.18.
I simply chekcouted on v3.18 and verified.
There were no SMBIOSv3 support added.

Patch points on SMBIOSv3, no SMBIOSv3 - no need in patch.

Patch

===============

[ Upstream commit 6d9ff473317245e3e5cd9922b4520411c2296388 ]

According to SMBIOSv3 specification the length of DMI table can be
up to 32bits wide. So use appropriate type to avoid overflow.

It's obvious that dmi_num theoretically can be more than u16 also,
so it's can be changed to u32 or at least it's better to use int
instead of u16, but on that moment I cannot imagine dmi structure
count more than 65535 and it can require changing type of vars that
work with it. So I didn't correct it.
