OpenBMC : KVM over IP and media redirection function

[Johnathan Mantey]

Liu,

RMM is a HW licensing device, and was, if I recall, eliminated in the
last generation of Intel servers (i.e. S2600WF, S2600BNP, S2600SWP).
OpenBMC provides you all of the source, so any control over SW features
like KVM (assuming the KVM source is open), by HW components being
present can be compiled out of your implementation.
I have a hard time believing the OPC would willingly add a HW device for
enabling/disabling SW functionality. Seems a bit counter to the spirit
of the projects philosophy to me.
