arm64: efi: Force the use of SetVirtualAddressMap() on eMAG and Altra Max machines
Commit 550b33cfd445 ("arm64: efi: Force the use of SetVirtualAddressMap() on Altra machines") identifies the Altra family via the family field in the type#1 SMBIOS record. eMAG and Altra Max machines are similarly affected but not detected with the strict strcmp test. The type1_family smbios string is not an entirely reliable means of identifying systems with this issue as OEMs can, and do, use their own strings for these fields. However, until we have a better solution, capture the bulk of these systems by adding strcmp matching for "eMAG" and "Altra Max".
