+ tristate "Device driver for IBM RSA service processor"
+ depends on X86 && EXPERIMENTAL
+ default n
+ ---help---
+ This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
+ IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
+ The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
+ ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
+ processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with
+ a user space API.
+ The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the
+ service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of
+ this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be
+ enabled.
+
+ WARNING: This software may not be supported or function
+ correctly on your IBM server. Please consult the IBM ServerProven
+ website <http://www.pc.ibm/ww/eserver/xseries/serverproven> for
+ information on the specific driver level and support statement
+ for your IBM server.
+
+
+ If unsure, say N.
