+System Management Bus
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "controller smbus"
+.Pp
+.Cd "device iicsmb0 at iicbus?"
+.Cd "device bktr0"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Em smbus
+system provides a uniform, modular and architecture-independent
+system for the implementation of drivers to control various SMB devices
+and to utilize different SMB controllers (I2C, PIIX4, Brooktree848, vm86...).
+.Sh System Management Bus
+The
+.Em System Management Bus
+is a two-wire interface through which simple power-related chips can communicate
+with rest of the system. It uses I2C as its backbone (see
+.Xr iicbus 4 ).
+
+A system using SMB passes messages to and from devices instead of tripping
+individual control lines.
+
+With the SMBus, a device can provide manufacturer information, tell the
+system what its model/part number is, save its state for a suspend event,
+report different types of errors, accept control parameters, and return its
+status.
+
+The SMBus may share the same host device and phusical bus as ACCESS bus
+componants provided that an appropriate electrival bridge is provided
+between the internal SMB devices and esternal ACCESS bus devices.
