    Summary: Tools for interacting with Intel's Active Management Technology
    Description: 
    AMT is a light weight hardware control interface put into some Intel
    based laptops and desktops as a tool for corporate fleets to manage
    hardware. It provides the basics of power control, as well as remote
    console via VNC. It functions by having a dedicated service processor
    sniff traffic off the network card on specific ports before it gets to
    the operating system. Some versions of Intel NUC boxes have AMT, which
    make them ideal candidates for building a reasonable cluster in your
    basement.
    
    There was once a tool called ``amttool`` which let you interact with
    these systems from Linux. This used the SOAP interface to AMT. That
    was removed in v9 of the firmware, which means it no longer works with
    modern AMT in the field.
    
    The interface that remains is CIM, a standard from the DMTF that
    builds XML models for all the things. There exist very few examples
    for how to make this work on the internet, with one exception: the
    OpenStack Baremetal (Ironic) service. It has native support for AMT
    hardware control.
    
    This project is derivative work from Ironic. The heavy lifting of
    understanding all the CIM magic incantations, and oh the magic they
    are, comes from that code. Refactored for a more minimal usage.
