Apologies for chiming in so late - in my defence, I was on vacation :-)

So if I understand the thread correctly, the Surface 3 provides a
SMBIOS entry point (not SMBIOS3), and it does not get picked up by the
second kernel, right?

I would still prefer to get to the bottom of this before papering over
it with command line options. If the memory gets corrupted by the
first kernel, maybe we are not preserving it correctly in the first
kernel.
