Some Intel docs indicate that remote AMT requires their "LM" series lan
controllers. The Intel programming guides and block diagrams indicate
an ability to update (and perhaps by that to zero) the AMT and related firmware.
Their general CPU microcode is signed. Didn't read far enough yet to
tell the full scope of what is in their programming guides in these areas.
