One Line Summary

Discussion around how to present interfaces that manage BIOS settings to the kernel and userspace

Abstract

After a heated discussion on LKML a few months ago, this is to discuss more about what an interface that can manage BIOS setup options can look like.

Some manufacturers are pushing for cross-OS industry standard manageability interfaces with the goals of having parity at the options that can be manipulated without compromising security.
