 - Fixes from v4 review.
 - Combine all previous methods into a single function that takes a
   buffer for the wmi method arguments.
v4:
 - Changed namespace to LENOVO_WMI_HELPERS from LENOVO_WMI.
 - Changed filenames to lenovo-wmi-helpers from lenovo-wmi.
 - Removed structs and functions implemented by other drivers.
