  11           This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
  12           IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
  13           The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
  14           ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
  15           processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with
  16           a user space API.
  17           The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the
  18           service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of
  19           this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be
  20           enabled.
