OVMF will pick the new tables automatically. SeaBIOS patches are at: https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=mid&q=20201210212640.2023885-1-ehabkost@redhat.com
This includes code previously submitted[1] by Daniel P. Berrangé to add a "smbios-ep" machine property on PC. SMBIOS 3.0 is necessary to support more than ~720 VCPUs, as a large number of VCPUs can easily hit the table size limit of SMBIOS 2.1 entry points.
