[PATCH] Provide standalone SMBIOS management app

[Mario_Limonciello at Dell.com]

Hi Matthew:

Has that been accepted yet?  I didn't think I saw it land on LKML yet,
but I may have been mistaken.

So (obviously), I've not actually used the kernel driver.  I expect that
it will cause this to be no longer necessary, but it's still useful to
keep in place for when operating on an older kernel with a newer
userspace.  Users on newer kernels with newer userspace can just build
without libsmbios.

Regards

With the dell-laptop driver, is the libsmbios app actually needed for 
later kernel versions?
