Ack, I get your queston now, and my answer is:

Yes if Scott updated the edk2 port the bios version in that 
should defanitly be bumped.

What SMBIOS version is it reporting, out of curosity as I need
to do some work on that part of it with respect to my VM_MAXCPU
changes.   (Three reviews process, expect 3 to 5 more before
work is completed.)
