  <summary>Recommended update for biosdevname</summary>
  <description>This update for biosdevname fixes the following issues:


- Read DMI info rom sysfs. (bsc#1174491)
  
  A kernel with Secure Boot lockdown may prohibit reading the contents of /dev/mem, hence biosdevname fails. 
  The recent kernel provides the DMI byte contents in /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/*.
  
- Add buffer read helper using read explicitly.
   
  mmap can't work well with a sysfs file and it's required to read the contents explicitly via read, 
  even if USE_MMAP is enabled.
