HP iLO driver
A driver for the HP iLO/iLO2 management processor, which allows userspace
programs to query the management processor. Programs can open a channel
to the device (/dev/hpilo/dXccbN), and use this to send/receive queries.
The O_EXCL open flag is used to indicate that a particular channel cannot
be shared between processes. This driver will replace various packages
HP has shipped, including hprsm and hp-ilo.
