This function can fail but gives no indication of failure. Update it to return an error when something goes wrong.

Changes in v2:
Update return type of efi_smbios_register() to efi_status_t
Use return value of efi_install_configuration_table

Please, return the value returned from efi_allocate_pages(). The function has a lot of different failure modes.
OK, will do. But looking at efi_allocate_pages() there is no documentation as to the return value.
return;
return EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES; /* Generate SMBIOS tables */ write_smbios_table(dmi);We should add a comment explaining why we do not use the return value of write_smbios_table(). My understanding is: write_smbios_table returns dmi rounded up to a multiple of 16. efi_allocate_pages returns a 4096 aligned address. So we do expect that the return value equals the parameter apssed to write_smbios_table().
OK will do.
