#define SMBIOS_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS 0x000E9000

By the spec it should be somewhere between 0xF0000 to 1MB,

There is even a comment in the code:

/* SMBIOS entry point -- must be written to a 16-bit aligned address
between 0xf0000 and 0xfffff.
*/
struct smbios_entry_point {

...

Any reason for that?

Thanks,

Guy.
