When I wrote this (long time ago), the original intention was to pass hints to smbios(4), e. g., entry point structure, pointer to DMI tables, number of tables, and total size. But this version has nothing to do with smbios(4) any more. I believe dropping hint and unit number is okay. Thanks, Jung-uk Kim > DES
