Subject: ACPI_WMI: worst config description of all times

See? It even has completely useless help text.

Does WMI stand for Windows Management Instrumentation? It is some
server management feature? What is it good for?

  WMI (EXPERIMENTAL) (ACPI_WMI) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) ?

This driver adds support for the ACPI-WMI mapper device (PNP0C14)
found on some systems.

NOTE: You will need another driver or userspace application on top of
this to actually use anything defined in the ACPI-WMI mapper.
