Microsoft SVVP (Server Virtualization Validation Program) expects
arbitrary SMBIOS field to have certain values otherwise it fails.
We all want to make Microsoft happy don't we? So lets put values MS
expects in there.
 
Values modified by the patch:
 Type 0:
  Bit 2 of byte 2 must be 1
 Type 1:
  Manufacturer/product string should not be empty
 Type 3:
  Manufacturer string should not be empty
 Type 4:
  Processor manufacturer should no be empty
  Max/current CPU speed shouldn't be unknown
 Type 16:
  Memory should have error correction.  

---

v1->v2:
 Use CONFIG_APPNAME instead of open coding strings
 Use snprintf.

FWIW, I agree with not changing this.

 From reading the spec, it seems like the characteristics extensions are 
totally separate from the basic characteristics, and setting bit 3 as 
done above does not mean that the extensions should also be zero.
