<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.
