Currently, i8k_dmi_table contains both entries used for DMI matching and entries used to override config options. This does not allow for differentiating between "its safe to issue raw SMM calls on this machine" and "its not safe to issue raw SMM calls on this machine, but here are some config values". Since future SMM backends will need to differentiate between those two cases, move those config entries into a separate table. i8k_dmi_table now serves as a general "its safe to issue raw SMM calls" table.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
