[PATCH] RapidIO support: core base
Adds a RapidIO subsystem to the kernel. RIO is a switched fabric interconnect
used in higher-end embedded applications. The curious can look at the specs
over at http://www.rapidio.org
The core code implements enumeration/discovery, management of
devices/resources, and interfaces for RIO drivers.
There's a lot more to do to take advantages of all the hardware features.
However, this should provide a good base for folks with RIO hardware to start
contributing.

62 | RapidIO is a high speed switched fabric interconnect with | ||
63 | features aimed at the embedded market. RapidIO provides | ||
64 | support for memory-mapped I/O as well as message-based | ||
65 | transactions over the switched fabric network. RapidIO has | ||
66 | a standardized discovery mechanism not unlike the PCI bus | ||
67 | standard that allows simple detection of devices in a | ||
68 | network. | ||
