And the API for the userspace application to do that is? There's a comment in patch to drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c that says: * contiguous and packetized. Both these methods still require having some * application to set the CMOS bit indicating the BIOS to update itself * after a reboot. but no hint *which* CMOS bit needs to be tweaked - is the drivers/char/nvram.c driver sufficient if you know the bit/byte number to set?
