That is better but technically speaking those notifiers do not have
nothing common with dell-smbios :-( Driver dell-smbios.ko provides API
for sending SMBIOS requests via SMM. Maybe move those functions into
separate module (and built statically into kernel)? Just speculation, do
not have something useful in my mind.
