Bug Description

When I run from the terminal "sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name" on a Macbook Pro (as per the instructions from here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro12-1/Wily#Remaining_issues_and_optimization_potential), I get:

mmap: Can't map beyond end of file /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI
Table is unreachable, sorry.

This is with a fully up to date Ubuntu 16.04 on a 2013 15" Macbook Pro. I attached the DMI file to the issue.

This seems to be mostly fixed now. (probably by #1578022).

Now if I do "sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name" I get:

MacBookPro11,2
Invalid entry length (0). DMI table is broken! Stop.

(dmidecode package version 3.0-2ubuntu0.1)
