What about just /dev/dell-smbios? IOCTL provided here is just SMBIOS
related and I think userspace does not have to care if it is via WMI or
direct SMM mode... Important is that it provides character device for
SMBIOS API and not how it is implemented.

Anyway, Darren, Andy, do we have some convention for naming platform
character devices?

I would suggest to provide uapi header file with all needed structures
and defines. So userspace application would have it and would not need
to implement own buffer...
