## Intel Management Engine
The IME is present, but disabled. This is accomplished by [sending a HECI
command on boot][heci_disable], before RAM is initalized. This puts the IME in
a state similar to setting the HAP bit on earlier platforms. [me_cleaner] is
not used as it does not support IME version 14.0.
