## Misc strange devices# menu "Misc devices" config IBM_ASM	tristate "Device driver for IBM RSA service processor"	depends on X86 && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL	---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.com/ww/eserver/xseries/serverproven> for	  information on the specific driver level and support statement	  for your IBM server.  	  If unsure, say N. endmenu
