 Basic Design
 ------------

 only need to take the pieces you need and you can use it in many
 different ways.  Because of that, it's broken into many chunks of

+Panic Timeouts
+--------------
+
+The OpenIPMI driver supports the ability to put semi-custom and custom
+events in the system event log if a panic occurs.  if you enable the
+'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic' option, you will get
+one event on a panic in a standard IPMI event format.  If you enable
+the 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string' option, you will
+also get a bunch of OEM events holding the panic string.
+
+
+The field settings of the events are:
+* Generator ID: 0x21 (kernel)
+* EvM Rev: 0x03 (this event is formatting in IPMI 1.0 format)
+* Sensor Type: 0x20 (OS critical stop sensor)
+* Sensor #: The first byte of the panic string (0 if no panic string)
+* Event Dir | Event Type: 0x6f (Assertion, sensor-specific event info)
+* Event Data 1: 0xa1 (Runtime stop in OEM bytes 2 and 3)
+* Event data 2: second byte of panic string
+* Event data 3: third byte of panic string
+See the IPMI spec for the details of the event layout.  This event is
+always sent to the local management controller.  It will handle routing
+the message to the right place
+
+Other OEM events have the following format:
+Record ID (bytes 0-1): Set by the SEL.
+Record type (byte 2): 0xf0 (OEM non-timestamped)
+byte 3: The slave address of the card saving the panic
+byte 4: A sequence number (starting at zero)
+The rest of the bytes (11 bytes) are the panic string.  If the panic string
+is longer than 11 bytes, multiple messages will be sent with increasing
+sequence numbers.
+
+Because you cannot send OEM events using the standard interface, this
+function will attempt to find an SEL and add the events there.  It
+will first query the capabilities of the local management controller.
+If it has an SEL, then they will be stored in the SEL of the local
+management controller.  If not, and the local management controller is
+an event generator, the event receiver from the local management
+controller will be queried and the events sent to the SEL on that
+device.  Otherwise, the events go nowhere since there is nowhere to
+send them.
+
+
+Poweroff
+--------
+
+If the poweroff capability is selected, the IPMI driver will install
+a shutdown function into the standard poweroff function pointer.  This
+is in the ipmi_poweroff module.  When the system requests a powerdown,
+it will send the proper IPMI commands to do this.  This is supported on
+several platforms.
+
+There is a module parameter named "poweroff_control" that may either be zero
+(do a power down) or 2 (do a power cycle, power the system off, then power
+it on in a few seconds).  Setting ipmi_poweroff.poweroff_control=x will do
+the same thing on the kernel command line.  The parameter is also available
+via the proc filesystem in /proc/ipmi/poweroff_control.  Note that if the
+system does not support power cycling, it will always to the power off.
+
+Note that if you have ACPI enabled, the system will prefer using ACPI to
+power off.
