Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event. + You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the + string together. + +config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE + tristate 'Device interface for IPMI' + help + This provides an IOCTL interface to the IPMI message handler so + userland processes may use IPMI. It supports poll() and select(). + +config IPMI_SI + tristate 'IPMI System Interface handler' + help + Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT). + Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported.

Older systems do not, and so + the driver is forced to probe hardware manually. This may cause boot + delays. Say "n" here to disable this manual probing. IPMI will then + only be available on older systems if the "ipmi_si_intf.trydefaults=1" + boot argument is passed. + +config IPMI_SSIF + tristate 'IPMI SMBus handler (SSIF)' + select I2C + help + Provides a driver for a SMBus interface to a BMC, meaning that you + have a driver that must be accessed over an I2C bus instead of a + standard interface.
