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,
