How does FreeBSD handle this backdooring technology in AMD and Intel CPUs and chipsets? I understand the need for it in an enterprise environment, but beyond that, if it can read files off the filesystem, does it understand FreeBSD's disk formats? It seems that it can also access Ethernet traffic and the CPU L1 and L2 caches. I did some research and it seems that AMD is allowing it to be disabled, but Intel only disables it for customers who have specialized requirements.
Since this is an integral part of many mainboards today, I asked this in the system hardware forum.
