OVMF is the Open Virtual Machine Firmware: it's open source (BSD 
licensed) firmware for virtual machines. Currently, that means Qemu/KVM. 
It has been ported to run under Bhyve too.

I guess you mean edk2 (efi development kit 2), not ed2k?

I'm showing you the SMBIOS values for the BIOS section.

Another example: on my desktop system, 'dmidecode' shows:


root at photon:/usr/home/bcran # dmidecode -t bios
# dmidecode 3.2
# SMBIOS entry point at 0x7949f000
Found SMBIOS entry point in EFI, reading table from /dev/mem.
SMBIOS 3.0 present.

Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 24 bytes
