Many of Intel's server boards support this (or at least did as of several
years ago).  I had some issues getting Linux to play nice with that
feature turned on.  I never had one of them sitting around long to figure
out the issues before putting them in service (with console redirection
turned off).  This was the T440BX/NL440BX board, which is kind of dated
now.

If you have some old Cacheflow boxes sitting around, they probably
have this board in them.  I don't know if they've done anything to them
that would cause problems using it in something other than the cacheflow.
