Implement kernel driver for platform identity

Project Member Reported by jclinton@chromium.org, Dec 18 2017

Issue description

From the Hardening Mosys design doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MkBUhp6KURhB2HArB7QYcrMpU8z1PQgknU-hx8c4K2k/edit#heading=h.iroy8cj9ggti

The exact details are a bit fuzzy (whether this is just SMBIOS or includes VPD) but consensus seems to have emerged around a stable /proc interface and upstreaming.

Once this is implemented, we can explore dropping privileges in the wrapper (track in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=795841) if the command being executed doesn't need root. We can also explore disabling the mosys platform subcommand tree for new platforms.


 
My comment was to just extend the sysfs smbios driver -- not add an entirely new one to /proc.
