When booted from coreboot, U-Boot does not build the SMBIOS tables, but
it should still pass them on to the OS. Add a new option which indicates
whether SMBIOS tables are present, however they were built.

confusing.
Adjust GENERATE_SMBIOS_TABLE to depend on this new symbol.

Thanks for updating the help text.
This implies that CONFIG_SMBIOS must be used to decide if
efi_smbios_register() is called in efi_init_obj_list(). This change is
in patch 14/19.
