   6 config IPMI_HANDLER
   7        tristate 'IPMI top-level message handler'
   8        help
   9          This enables the central IPMI message handler, required for IPMI
  10          to work.
  11
  12          IPMI is a standard for managing sensors (temperature,
  13          voltage, etc.) in a system.
  14
  15          See <file:Documentation/IPMI.txt> for more details on the driver.
  16
  17          If unsure, say N.

  19 config IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
  20        bool 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic'
  21        depends on IPMI_HANDLER
  22        help
  23          When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
  24          generate an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface
  25          registered with the message handler.
  26
  27 config IPMI_PANIC_STRING
  28         bool 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string'
  29         depends on IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
  30         help
  31           When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
  32           generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the
  33           panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the
  34           string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the
  35           event).  Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event.
  36           You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the
  37           string together.
  38
  39 config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE
  40        tristate 'Device interface for IPMI'
  41        depends on IPMI_HANDLER
  42        help
  43          This provides an IOCTL interface to the IPMI message handler so
  44          userland processes may use IPMI.  It supports poll() and select().
  45
  46 config IPMI_SI
  47        tristate 'IPMI System Interface handler'
  48        depends on IPMI_HANDLER
  49        help
  50          Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT).
  51          Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported.  If
  52          you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here.
  53
  54 config IPMI_WATCHDOG
  55        tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer'
  56        depends on IPMI_HANDLER
  57        help
  58          This enables the IPMI watchdog timer.
  59
  60 config IPMI_POWEROFF
  61        tristate 'IPMI Poweroff'
  62        depends on IPMI_HANDLER
  63        help
  64          This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if
  65          the IPMI management controller is capable of this.
