| 8 | This enables Host Driver support for the Intel Many Integrated |
| 9 | Core (MIC) family of PCIe form factor coprocessor devices that |
| 10 | run a 64 bit Linux OS. The driver manages card OS state and |
| 11 | enables communication between host and card. Intel MIC X100 |
| 12 | devices are currently supported. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | If you are building a host kernel with an Intel MIC device then |
| 15 | say M (recommended) or Y, else say N. If unsure say N. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | More information about the Intel MIC family as well as the Linux |
| 18 | OS and tools for MIC to use with this driver are available from |
