We found this during certification testing of a couple models from one
OEM that apparently use SMIBIOS 3.0.

The failed test shows this in the output:

mmap: Can't map beyond end of file /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI
Table is unreachable, sorry.
*** Incorrect or unknown server chassis type!

Failed 1 test (see above)

We also capture output of dmidecode in the test logs, on the 3.0 system
this is all we get in output:

# dmidecode 3.0
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 3.0.0 present.
Table at 0x7BB4E000.

** Changed in: dmidecode (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Tags added: hwcert-server

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 16.04, dmidecode 3.0-2 can display smibios 2.8 but not smibios

  problem.
