On Lenovo platforms there is a limitation in the number of times an
attribute can be saved. This is an architectural limitation and it limits
the number of attributes that can be modified to 48.
A solution for this is instead of the attribute being saved after every
modification allow a user to bulk set the attributes and then trigger a
final save. This allows unlimited attributes.
This patch introduces a save_settings attribute that can be configured to
either single or bulk mode by the user.
Single mode is the default but customers who want to avoid the 48
attribute limit can enable bulk mode.
Displaying the save_settings attribute will display the enabled mode.
When in bulk mode writing 'save' to the save_settings attribute will
trigger a save. Once this has been done a reboot is required before more
attributes can be modified.

The NVME/HDD index used by WMI starts at 1 so corrected the default
appropriately.
Note, zero index is still permitted in case it is required on future
platforms.
Documentation updated correspondingly

Certificate based authentication is available as an alternative to
password based authentication.
The WMI commands are cryptographically signed using a separate
signing server and will be verified by the BIOS before being
accepted.
This commit details the fields that are needed to support that
implementation. At present the changes are intended for Lenovo
platforms, but have been designed to keep them as flexible as possible
for future implementations from other vendors.

Newer Lenovo BIOS's have an opcode GUID support interface which provides
- improved password setting control
- ability to set System, hard drive and NVMe passwords
Add the support for these new passwords, and the ability to select
user/master mode and the drive index.

Various pdx86 docs under Documentation/ABI/testing still use Mario's
old, now defunct, <[email protected]> address.
Update the docs to point to either the new [email protected]
email alias for Dell specific drivers, or to Mario's new @outlook.com
address for other drivers.

Dell Systems
The Dell WMI Systems Management Driver provides a sysfs
interface for systems management to enable BIOS configuration
capability on certain Dell Systems.
This driver allows user to configure Dell systems with a
uniform common interface. To facilitate this, the patch
introduces a generic way for driver to be able to create
configurable BIOS Attributes available in Setup (F2) screen.
