PECI devices may not be discoverable at the time when PECI controller is being added (e.g. BMC can boot up when the Host system is still in S5). Since we currently don't have the capabilities to figure out the Host system state inside the PECI subsystem itself, we have to rely on userspace to do it for us. In the future, PECI subsystem may be expanded with mechanisms that allow us to avoid depending on userspace interaction (e.g. CPU presence could be detected using GPIO, and the information on whether it's discoverable could be obtained over IPMI). Unfortunately, those methods may ultimately not be available (support will vary from platform to platform), which means that we still need platform independent method triggered by userspace.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
