I updated my bmfdec.c (git://github.com/pali/bmfdec.git) and here is
guessed header description:
/*
* BMF file is compressed by DS-01 algorithm with additional header:
* 4 bytes: 46 4f 4d 42 - 'F' 'O' 'M' 'B'
* 4 bytes: 01 00 00 00 - version 0x01
* 4 bytes: size of compressed data (low endian)

With Andy's conversion of WMI to the driver model the GUIDs should
be our device ids. Which means WMI can support the dynamic device
ID model, where you can echo a id to sysfs to bind an id - that way
people could add the GUIDs on demand to the pass through driver if
they need them even with the w
