Also, the original SXCE bmc driver is closed-source, hence it is
not in illumos, and hence the license restrictions such as not
redistribution other than as part of OpenSolaris.

It was discussed that an open-sourced (bsd?) driver port was worked
on, but I am not sure whether that has been completed and integrated.
Probably, the nice people at Joyent or some other hosting-oriented
illumos contributor would have more to say on this :)
