Description
Currently the smbios routines encode knowledge about two different things, the version of the library that the consumer is using and the version of the smbios that the hardware uses.
Throughout the code we are mistakenly using the hardware version as opposed to the library version. This is even more unfortunate because the hardware version is actually stored as a uint32_t in such a way that it will always be larger than all of the library versions which are stored as a uint16_t, thus causing us to always do the wrong thing.
