We have an .id section just below the 16bit entry point - that can
(easily) be extended to host more fields, and our smbios table generator
could fetch a number from there, overriding a compile time default.

To start, see src/arch/x86/lib/id.inc. It's really two tables: one
containing the offsets, one containing the data (strings are 0-terminated).
Both tables need to be prepended with new fields, since we're in a
top-aligned world here.

Patches accepted :-)
