[RFC PATCH 00/13] Intel(R) MEI Driver

[Oren Weil <oren.jer.weil@intel.com>]

Intel(R) Management Engine Interface (Intel(R) MEI) Driver 
==========================================================

This patch contains a new Intel driver for the Linux kernel: The Intel(R) MEI Driver.

The Intel(R) MEI driver allows applications to access
the Intel(R) Management Engine (Intel(R) ME) FW via the host
interface.


The Intel(R) MEI driver is meant to be used mainly by the
Local Manageability Service (LMS).

Note: This driver was previously called the HECI driver that was
a part of the Staging area in the Kernel and was removed.

The old MEI Driver and LMS are located on openamt.org, and are not updated
with the latest versions. A new version of LMS is under development and will be released
soon.

This set of patches is for review purposes; the driver code
for pull is in the David Woodhouse public git repository:
http://git.infradead.org/linux-2.6-mei.git

The patches is divided according to the driver files for better review process.

For more information about the MEI Driver and its usage, see:
