Hello,
I have revived this bug and assigned myself to it.
It turns out that -smbios type=1,manufacturer=Scaleway is required by us
to trigger cloud-init's DataSourceScaleway on our infrastructure.
And, moreover, the functionality works as designed on Bionic :
# dmidecode | head
# dmidecode 3.1
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 3.0.0 present.
Table at 0xBC03.
Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
Manufacturer: Scaleway
Product Name: KVM Virtual Machine
Version: 1.0
# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release:18.04
Codename: bionic
# arch
aarch64
So I am going to work on trying to identify what was added to version
1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.4 to make it work as expected.

Title:
smbios parameter settings not visible in guest

Bug description:
qemu-system-aarch64 supports -smbios parameters to export values into the DMI
tables.
These values are viewable via /sys/class/dmi/id/* or via dmidecode (V3
tables).
Passing in custom values for things like -smbios
type=1,manufacturer="Foobar" should result in that value being
viewable in-guest via dmidecode or /sys/class/dmi/id/*
Testing with a Xenial qemu-system-arm and Xenial cloud-image shows
that these smbios parameters aren't being modified.
