With this series applied on qemu-riscv64_smode_defconfig with 8 GiB RAM
I get this output in Ubuntu 23.10:

$ sudo dmidecode
# dmidecode 3.5
# SMBIOS3 entry point at 0x27ef28000
Found SMBIOS entry point in EFI, reading table from /dev/mem.
# No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry.

Best regards
