From: "Darren Hart (VMware)" <dvhart@infradead.org>

This series is based on the original work of
Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> [1]. I have made minor edits, and in
one instance, squashed two patches in which the latter undid the former.

This series converts WMI [2] into a proper bus, adds some useful information via
sysfs, and exposes the embedded MOF [3] binary. It converts dell-wmi to use the
new WMI bus architecture.

This is the first part of an ongoing effort to enhance the WMI infrastructure
within the kernel, and eventually expose WMI to userspace for the consumption of
management utilities as it was intended.
