Marcin Obara d52b3d9c72 Staging: add heci driver
The Intel Management Engine Interface (aka HECI: Host Embedded
Controller Interface ) enables communication between the host OS and
the Management Engine firmware. MEI is bi-directional, and either the
host or Intel AMT firmware can initiate transactions.

The core hardware architecture of Intel Active Management Technology
(Intel AMT) is resident in firmware. The micro-controller within the
chipset's graphics and memory controller (GMCH) hub houses the
Management Engine (ME) firmware, which implements various services
on behalf of management applications.

Some of the ME subsystems that can be access via MEI driver:

- Intel(R) Quiet System Technology (QST) is implemented as a firmware
subsystem  that  runs in the ME.  Programs that wish to expose the
health monitoring and fan speed control capabilities of Intel(R) QST
will need to use the MEI driver to communicate with the ME sub-system.
- ASF is the "Alert Standard Format" which is an DMTF manageability
standard. It is implemented in the PC's hardware and firmware, and is
managed from a remote console.

Most recent Intel desktop chipsets have one or more of the above ME
services. The MEI driver will make it possible to support the above
features on Linux and provides applications access to the ME and it's
features.

menuconfig STAGING
bool "Staging drivers"
default n
---help---
This option allows you to select a number of drivers that are
not of the "normal" Linux kernel quality level. These drivers
are placed here in order to get a wider audience for use of
them. Please note that these drivers are under heavy
development, may or may not work, and may contain userspace
interfaces that most likely will be changed in the near
future.
Using any of these drivers will taint your kernel which might
affect support options from both the community, and various
commercial support orginizations.
If you wish to work on these drivers, to help improve them, or
to report problems you have with them, please see the
driver_name.README file in the drivers/staging/ directory to
see what needs to be worked on, and who to contact.
If in doubt, say N here.
if STAGING
config STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD
bool "Exclude Staging drivers from being built" if STAGING
default y
---help---
Are you sure you really want to build the staging drivers?
They taint your kernel, don't live up to the normal Linux
kernel quality standards, are a bit crufty around the edges,
and might go off and kick your dog when you aren't paying
attention.
Say N here to be able to select and build the Staging drivers.
This option is primarily here to prevent them from being built
when selecting 'make allyesconfg' and 'make allmodconfig' so
don't be all that put off, your dog will be just fine.
