Olivier Certner 7f005c6699 libsa: smbios: Use 64-bit entry point if table below 4GB on non-EFI boot
On amd64, boot blocks and the non-EFI loader are 32-bit compiled as
clients of BTX, so cannot access addresses beyond 4GB.  However, the
64-bit entry point may refer to a structure table below 4GB, which we
want to use if the BIOS does not provide a 32-bit entry point.  The
situation is similar for powerpc64.

Consequently, always compile-in support for the 64-bit entry point, but
ensure that it is not selected on 32-bit-compiled boot loaders if the
structure table it points to grows beyond 4GB (as it is then not
accessible).
