+WMI Driver API
+==============
+
+The WMI driver core supports a more modern bus-based interface for interacting
+with WMI devices, and an older GUID-based interface. The latter interface is
+considered to be deprecated, so new WMI drivers should generally avoid it since
+it has some issues with multiple WMI devices sharing the same GUID.
+The modern bus-based interface instead maps each WMI device to a
+:c:type:`struct wmi_device <wmi_device>`, so it supports WMI devices sharing the
+same GUID. Drivers can then register a :c:type:`struct wmi_driver <wmi_driver>`
+which will be bound to compatible WMI devices by the driver core.
