What:		/sys/class/mic/mic(x)/state
Date:		October 2013
KernelVersion:	3.13
Contact:	Sudeep Dutt <sudeep.dutt@intel.com>
Description:
		When read, this entry provides the current state of an Intel
		MIC device in the context of the card OS. Possible values that
		will be read are:
		"offline" - The MIC device is ready to boot the card OS. On
		reading this entry after an OSPM resume, a "boot" has to be
		written to this entry if the card was previously shutdown
		during OSPM suspend.
		"online" - The MIC device has initiated booting a card OS.
		"shutting_down" - The card OS is shutting down.
		"reset_failed" - The MIC device has failed to reset.
		"suspending" - The MIC device is currently being prepared for
		suspend. On reading this entry, a "suspend" has to be written
		to the state sysfs entry to ensure the card is shutdown during
		OSPM suspend.
		"suspended" - The MIC device has been suspended.

		When written, this sysfs entry triggers different state change
		operations depending upon the current state of the card OS.
		Acceptable values are:
		"boot" - Boot the card OS image specified by the combination
			 of firmware, ramdisk, cmdline and bootmode
			sysfs entries.
		"reset" - Initiates device reset.
		"shutdown" - Initiates card OS shutdown.
		"suspend" - Initiates card OS shutdown and also marks the card
		as suspended.

What:		/sys/class/mic/mic(x)/shutdown_status
Date:		October 2013
KernelVersion:	3.13
Contact:	Sudeep Dutt <sudeep.dutt@intel.com>
Description:
		An Intel MIC device runs a Linux OS during its operation. This
		OS can shutdown because of various reasons. When read, this
		entry provides the status on why the card OS was shutdown.
		Possible values are:
		"nop" -  shutdown status is not applicable, when the card OS is
			"online"
		"crashed" - Shutdown because of a HW or SW crash.
		"halted" - Shutdown because of a halt command.
		"poweroff" - Shutdown because of a poweroff command.
		"restart" - Shutdown because of a restart command.

KernelVersion:	3.13
Contact:	Sudeep Dutt <sudeep.dutt@intel.com>
Description:
		An Intel MIC device runs a Linux OS during its operation. Before
		booting this card OS, it is possible to pass kernel command line
		options to configure various features in it, similar to
		self-bootable machines. When read, this entry provides
		information about the current kernel command line options set to
		boot the card OS. This entry can be written to change the
		existing kernel command line options. Typically, the user would
		want to read the current command line options, append new ones
		or modify existing ones and then write the whole kernel command
		line back to this entry.

Contact:	Sudeep Dutt <sudeep.dutt@intel.com>
Description:
		When read, this sysfs entry provides the path name under
		/lib/firmware/ where the firmware image to be booted on the
		card can be found. The entry can be written to change the
		firmware image location under /lib/firmware/.

Contact:	Sudeep Dutt <sudeep.dutt@intel.com>
Description:
		When read, this sysfs entry provides the path name under
		/lib/firmware/ where the ramdisk image to be used during card
		OS boot can be found. The entry can be written to change
		the ramdisk image location under /lib/firmware/.

What:		/sys/class/mic/mic(x)/bootmode
Date:		October 2013
KernelVersion:	3.13
Contact:	Sudeep Dutt <sudeep.dutt@intel.com>
Description:
		When read, this sysfs entry provides the current bootmode for
		the card. This sysfs entry can be written with the following
		valid strings:

		b) elf - Boot an elf image for flash updates.

What:		/sys/class/mic/mic(x)/log_buf_addr
Date:		October 2013
KernelVersion:	3.13
Contact:	Sudeep Dutt <sudeep.dutt@intel.com>
Description:
		An Intel MIC device runs a Linux OS during its operation. For
		debugging purpose and early kernel boot messages, the user can
		access the card OS log buffer via debugfs. When read, this entry
		provides the kernel virtual address of the buffer where the card
		OS log buffer can be read. This entry is written by the host
		configuration daemon to set the log buffer address. The correct
		log buffer address to be written can be found in the System.map
		file of the card OS.
