You can use sysfs instead of devmem.

config DMI_SYSFS
        tristate "DMI table support in sysfs"
        depends on SYSFS && DMI
        default n
        help
          Say Y or M here to enable the exporting of the raw DMI table
          data via sysfs.  This is useful for consuming the data without
          requiring any access to /dev/mem at all.  Tables are found
          under /sys/firmware/dmi when this option is enabled and
          loaded.

There is also an dmi parser, because some drivers depend on DMI
informations.
