CSME in two words
-----------------
CSME stands for Converged Security and Management Engine. It is a CPU
on the chipset and runs a dedicated firmware.
AMT (Active Management Technology) is one of the applications that run
on that CPU. AMT allows to control the platform remotely.
Here is a partial list of the use cases:
* View the screen of the plaform, with keyboard and mouse (KVM)
* Attach a remote IDE device
* Have a serial console to the device
* Query the state of the platform
* Reset / shut down / boot the platform
