+Overview
+
+The Dell Systems Management Base Driver provides a sysfs interface for
+systems management software such as Dell OpenManage to perform system
+management interrupts and host control actions (system power cycle or
+power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems.
+
+Dell OpenManage requires this driver on the following Dell PowerEdge systems:
+300, 1300, 1400, 400SC, 500SC, 1500SC, 1550, 600SC, 1600SC, 650, 1655MC,
+700, and 750.  Other Dell software such as the open source libsmbios project
+is expected to make use of this driver, and it may include the use of this
+driver on other Dell systems.
+
+The Dell libsmbios project aims towards providing access to as much BIOS
+information as possible.  See http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/main/ for
+more information about the libsmbios project.
+
+
+System Management Interrupt
+
+On some Dell systems, systems management software must access certain
+management information via a system management interrupt (SMI).  The SMI data
+buffer must reside in 32-bit address space, and the physical address of the
+buffer is required for the SMI.  The driver maintains the memory required for
+the SMI and provides a way for the application to generate the SMI.
+The driver creates the following sysfs entries for systems management
+software to perform these system management interrupts:
+
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data_buf_phys_addr
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_data_buf_size
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/smi_request
+
+Systems management software must perform the following steps to execute
+a SMI using this driver:
+
+1) Lock smi_data.
+2) Write system management command to smi_data.
+3) Write "1" to smi_request to generate a calling interface SMI or
+   "2" to generate a raw SMI.
+4) Read system management command response from smi_data.
+5) Unlock smi_data.
+
+
+Host Control Action
+
+Dell OpenManage supports a host control feature that allows the administrator
+to perform a power cycle or power off of the system after the OS has finished
+shutting down.  On some Dell systems, this host control feature requires that
+a driver perform a SMI after the OS has finished shutting down.
+
+The driver creates the following sysfs entries for systems management software
+to schedule the driver to perform a power cycle or power off host control
+action after the system has finished shutting down:
+
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/host_control_action
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/host_control_smi_type
+/sys/devices/platform/dcdbas/host_control_on_shutdown
+
+Dell OpenManage performs the following steps to execute a power cycle or
+power off host control action using this driver:
+
+1) Write host control action to be performed to host_control_action.
+2) Write type of SMI that driver needs to perform to host_control_smi_type.
+3) Write "1" to host_control_on_shutdown to enable host control action.
+4) Initiate OS shutdown.
+   (Driver will perform host control SMI when it is notified that the OS
+   has finished shutting down.)
+
+
+Host Control SMI Type
+
+The following table shows the value to write to host_control_smi_type to
+perform a power cycle or power off host control action:
+
+PowerEdge System    Host Control SMI Type
+----------------    ---------------------
+      300             HC_SMITYPE_TYPE1
+     1300             HC_SMITYPE_TYPE1
+     1400             HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2
+      500SC           HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2
+     1500SC           HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2
+     1550             HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2
+      600SC           HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2
+     1600SC           HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2
+      650             HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2
+     1655MC           HC_SMITYPE_TYPE2

+ * Remote BIOS Update (rbu) driver is used for updating DELL BIOS by
+ * creating entries in the /sys file systems on Linux 2.6 and higher
+ * kernels. The driver supports two mechanism to update the BIOS namely
+ * contiguous and packetized. Both these methods still require having some
+ * application to set the CMOS bit indicating the BIOS to update itself
+ * after a reboot.
+ *
+ * Contiguous method:
+ * This driver writes the incoming data in a monolithic image by allocating
+ * contiguous physical pages large enough to accommodate the incoming BIOS
+ * image size.
+ *
+ * Packetized method:
+ * The driver writes the incoming packet image by allocating a new packet
+ * on every time the packet data is written. This driver requires an
+ * application to break the BIOS image in to fixed sized packet chunks.
+ *
