rpaulo ea30121075 acpi_hp.c:
- sysctl dev.acpi_hp.0.verbose to toggle debug output
- A modification so this can deal with different array lengths
  when reading the CMI BIOS - now it works ok on HP Compaq nx7300
  as well.
- Change behaviour to query only max_instance-1 CMI BIOS instances,
  because all HPs seen so far are broken in that respect
  (or there is a fundamental misunderstanding on my side, possible
  as well). This way a disturbing ACPI Error Field exceeds Buffer
  message is avoided.
- New bit to set on dev.acpi_hp.0.cmi_detail (0x8) to
  also query the highest guid instance of CMI bios

acpi_hp.4:
- Document dev.acpi_hp.0.verbose sysctl in man page
- Document new bit for dev.acpi_hp.0.cmi_detail
- Add a section to manpage about hardware that has been reported
  to work ok

.Sh NAME
.Nm acpi_wmi
.Nd "ACPI to WMI mapping driver"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device acpi_wmi"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
acpi_wmi_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides an interface for vendor specific WMI implementations
(e.g. HP and Acer laptops).
It creates /dev/wmistat, which can be read to get
information about GUIDs found in the system.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /dev/wmistat -compact
.It Pa /dev/wmistat
WMI status device.
