Ah, *this* is why qemu provides a type0 table.
What is the use case for this?

Maybe it's time add a config option to compile out
I actually love this idea.
So we can now expect only ’06/23/99’ date string to reside in F-SEG at build
time.
This will allow setting the SystemBiosDate to all dates from 06/23/99 to
01/01/80 (2080) which is reasonable enough.
So now we will copy the smbios0.date to "char win_bios_date[] VARFSE

Hi,
Many programs use SystemBiosDate registry key in order to verify the machine
they are running on (mostly for activation/licensing purposes).
This registry key is read only and is computed as explained before.
When this date changes - this may break the behavior of the machine.
This date neve
