+ * Cross Partition Communication (XPC) support - standard version.
+ *
+ *      XPC provides a message passing capability that crosses partition
+ *      boundaries. This module is made up of two parts:
+ *
+ *          partition   This part detects the presence/absence of other
+ *                      partitions. It provides a heartbeat and monitors
+ *                      the heartbeats of other partitions.
+ *
+ *          channel     This part manages the channels and sends/receives
+ *                      messages across them to/from other partitions.
+ *
+ *      There are a couple of additional functions residing in XP, which
+ *      provide an interface to XPC for its users.
+ *
+ *
+ *      Caveats:
+ *
+ *        . We currently have no way to determine which nasid an IPI came
+ *          from. Thus, xpc_IPI_send() does a remote AMO write followed by
+ *          an IPI. The AMO indicates where data is to be pulled from, so
+ *          after the IPI arrives, the remote partition checks the AMO word.
+ *          The IPI can actually arrive before the AMO however, so other code
+ *          must periodically check for this case. Also, remote AMO operations
+ *          do not reliably time out. Thus we do a remote PIO read solely to
+ *          know whether the remote partition is down and whether we should
+ *          stop sending IPIs to it. This remote PIO read operation is set up
+ *          in a special nofault region so SAL knows to ignore (and cleanup)
+ *          any errors due to the remote AMO write, PIO read, and/or PIO
+ *          write operations.
+ *
+ *          If/when new hardware solves this IPI problem, we should abandon
+ *          the current approach.
