The dell-smbios stack only currently uses an SMI interface which grants direct access to physical memory to the firmware SMM methods via a pointer. This dispatcher driver adds a WMI-ACPI interface that is detected by WMI probe and preferred over the SMI interface in dell-smbios. Changing this to operate over WMI-ACPI will use an ACPI OperationRegion for a buffer of data storage when SMM calls are performed. This is a safer approach to use in kernel drivers as the SMM will only have access to that OperationRegion.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
