Add documentation for the WMI subsystem. The documentation describes both the ACPI WMI interface and the driver API for interacting with the WMI driver core. The information regarding the ACPI interface was retrieved from the Ubuntu kernel references and the Windows driver samples available on GitHub. The documentation is supposed to help driver developers writing WMI drivers, as many modern machines designed to run Windows provide an ACPI WMI interface.

==============================

The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
|
|
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
|
|
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
|
|
available subsections can be seen below.
