+Kernel driver ibmaem
+====================
+
+This driver talks to the IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager, known
+henceforth as AEM.
+
+Supported systems:
+
+ * Any recent IBM System X server with AEM support.
+
+ This includes the x3350, x3550, x3650, x3655, x3755, x3850 M2,
+ x3950 M2, and certain HC10/HS2x/LS2x/QS2x blades.
+
+ The IPMI host interface
+ driver ("ipmi-si") needs to be loaded for this driver to do anything.
+
+ Prefix: 'ibmaem'
+
+ Datasheet: Not available
+
+Author: Darrick J. Wong
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements sensor reading support for the energy and power meters
+available on various IBM System X hardware through the BMC. All sensor banks
+will be exported as platform devices; this driver can talk to both v1 and v2
+interfaces. This driver is completely separate from the older ibmpex driver.
+
+The v1 AEM interface has a simple set of features to monitor energy use. There
+is a register that displays an estimate of raw energy consumption since the
+last BMC reset, and a power sensor that returns average power use over a
+configurable interval.
+
+The v2 AEM interface is a bit more sophisticated, being able to present a wider
+range of energy and power use registers, the power cap as set by the AEM
+software, and temperature sensors.
+
+Special Features
+----------------
+
+The "power_cap" value displays the current system power cap, as set by the AEM
+software. Setting the power cap from the host is not currently supported.
