firmware: Fix unaligned memory accesses in dmi-sysfs
DMI entries are arranged in memory back to back with no alignment guarantees. This means that the struct dmi_header passed to callbacks from dmi_walk() itself isn't byte aligned. This causes problems on architectures that expect aligned data, such as IA64. The dmi-sysfs patchset introduced structure member accesses through this passed in dmi_header. Fix this by memcpy()ing the structures to temporary locations on stack when inspecting/copying them.
