+ * the reserved page
+ *
+ *   SAL reserves one page of memory per partition for XPC. Though a full page
+ *   in length (16384 bytes), its starting address is not page aligned, but it
+ *   is cacheline aligned. The reserved page consists of the following:
+ *
+ *   reserved page header
+ *
+ *     The first cacheline of the reserved page contains the header
+ *     (struct xpc_rsvd_page). Before SAL initialization has completed,
+ *     SAL has set up the following fields of the reserved page header:
+ *     SAL_signature, SAL_version, partid, and nasids_size. The other
+ *     fields are set up by XPC. (xpc_rsvd_page points to the local
+ *     partition's reserved page.)
+ *
+ *   part_nasids mask
+ *   mach_nasids mask
+ *
+ *     SAL also sets up two bitmaps (or masks), one that reflects the actual
+ *     nasids in this partition (part_nasids), and the other that reflects
+ *     the actual nasids in the entire machine (mach_nasids). We're only
+ *     interested in the even numbered nasids (which contain the processors
+ *     and/or memory), so we only need half as many bits to represent the
+ *     nasids. The part_nasids mask is located starting at the first cacheline
+ *     following the reserved page header. The mach_nasids mask follows right
+ *     after the part_nasids mask. The size in bytes of each mask is reflected
+ *     by the reserved page header field 'nasids_size'. (Local partition's
+ *     mask pointers are xpc_part_nasids and xpc_mach_nasids.)
+ *
+ *   vars
+ *   vars part
+ *
+ *     Immediately following the mach_nasids mask are the XPC variables
+ *     required by other partitions. First are those that are generic to all
+ *     partitions (vars), followed on the next available cacheline by those
+ *     which are partition specific (vars part). These are setup by XPC.
+ *     (Local partition's vars pointers are xpc_vars and xpc_vars_part.)
+ *
+ * Note: Until vars_pa is set, the partition XPC code has not been initialized.

+ * 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.

+ *      retrieve and pass to the upper level networking layer.
