+The SMBus Driver (SSIF)
+-----------------------
+
+The SMBus driver allows up to 4 SMBus devices to be configured in the
+system.  By default, the driver will only register with something it
+finds in DMI or ACPI tables.  You can change this
+at module load time (for a module) with:
+
+  modprobe ipmi_ssif.o
+	addr=<i2caddr1>[,<i2caddr2>[,...]]
+	adapter=<adapter1>[,<adapter2>[...]]
+	dbg=<flags1>,<flags2>...
+        slave_addrs=<addr1>,<addr2>,...
+	[dbg_probe=1]
+
+The addresses are normal I2C addresses.  The adapter is the string
+name of the adapter, as shown in /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-<n>/name.
+It is *NOT* i2c-<n> itself.
+
+The debug flags are bit flags for each BMC found, they are:
+IPMI messages: 1, driver state: 2, timing: 4, I2C probe: 8
+
+Setting dbg_probe to 1 will enable debugging of the probing and
+detection process for BMCs on the SMBusses.
+
+The slave_addrs specifies the IPMI address of the local BMC.  This is
+usually 0x20 and the driver defaults to that, but in case it's not, it
+can be specified when the driver starts up.
+
+Discovering the IPMI compliant BMC on the SMBus can cause devices on
+the I2C bus to fail. The SMBus driver writes a "Get Device ID" IPMI
+message as a block write to the I2C bus and waits for a response.
+This action can be detrimental to some I2C devices. It is highly
+recommended that the known I2C address be given to the SMBus driver in
+the smb_addr parameter unless you have DMI or ACPI data to tell the
+driver what to use.
+
+When compiled into the kernel, the addresses can be specified on the
+kernel command line as:
+
+  ipmb_ssif.addr=<i2caddr1>[,<i2caddr2>[...]]
+	ipmi_ssif.adapter=<adapter1>[,<adapter2>[...]]
+	ipmi_ssif.dbg=<flags1>[,<flags2>[...]]
+	ipmi_ssif.dbg_probe=1
+        ipmi_ssif.slave_addrs=<addr1>[,<addr2>[...]]
+
+These are the same options as on the module command line.
+
+The I2C driver does not support non-blocking access or polling, so
+this driver cannod to IPMI panic events, extend the watchdog at panic
+time, or other panic-related IPMI functions without special kernel
+patches and driver modifications.  You can get those at the openipmi
+web page.
+
+The driver supports a hot add and remove of interfaces through the I2C
+sysfs interface.
