Pali,

I've produced a small sample application available here:
https://github.com/superm1/smbios-wmi-poc

I'm still evaluating whether to update libsmbios to use this API or update
individual applications to use it directly. If individual applications will
be updated I also have code for fwupd ready:
https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/pull/277/commits/d01b8ed8e1726dd2ab3d1d9fd46f624ced7a06a2

It won't be merged until:
1) This series is accepted and targeted to -next
2) I decide whether or not to update libsmbios instead

Thanks,


\
