In BMOF from my Latitude E6440 there are specified two parameters with 
index 0. One with qualifiers ("in", Description("Fn buf")) and one with 
("out", Description("Fn buf")). I think you have similar/same data in 
BMOF.

In my bmf2mof I just combined those two parameters into one (when name, 
type and index matches) and concatenate also qualifiers with removing 
duplicates.

Do not know what is correct way, but I think qualifiers are just 
unordered set. MS decompiler probably put "in" and "out" qualifiers 
before any other for better readability.
