WMI module autoloading (for hp-wmi, dell-wmi, tc1100-wmi)
Hi
I believe you had a patch to add support for auto-loading of wmi modules. But it stalled because it also added a userspace interface to WMI in sysfs, which didn't fit very well.
So at the moment, only acer-wmi is autoloaded, because it has a DMI autoload hack. hp-wmi, dell-wmi, and tc1100-wmi are out of luck, even though a second DMI hack was proposed for dell-wmi.
Would it be possible to add the auto-load support on it's own? Is it just a matter of someone taking the time to cherry-pick the auto-loading bits from the original patch, and test the result?
Thanks
Alan

Yes. I started on this a while ago, but never quite finished.
