Looking at the Intel AMT pages... The AMT chip itself does, independently of the host OS. It's like an Intel-specific SP with Service Tags, sort of, except it appears to be off-by-default. The LMS is nebulous at first look, but "[t]he LMS driver provides an interface enabling local management software agents to communicate with the Intel Management Engine using the same high-level protocols as those used for remote management (e.g. XML, SOAP)."
