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.
