This patch series allows WMI drivers to retrieve the number of
WMI object instances. This functionality benefits several current
and upcoming WMI drivers, the dell-wmi-sysman driver is converted
to use this new API as an example.

The changes are compile-tested only, the change to the dell-wmi-sysman
driver also needs to be tested on real hardware.

Changes since RFC v2:
- modify wmi_instance_count() to return an integer
