+VME Device Drivers
+==================
+
+Driver registration
+-------------------
+
+As with other subsystems within the Linux kernel, VME device drivers register
+with the VME subsystem, typically called from the devices init routine.  This is
+achieved via a call to :c:func:`vme_register_driver`.
+
+A pointer to a structure of type :c:type:`struct vme_driver <vme_driver>` must
+be provided to the registration function. Along with the maximum number of
+devices your driver is able to support.
+
+At the minimum, the '.name', '.match' and '.probe' elements of
+:c:type:`struct vme_driver <vme_driver>` should be correctly set. The '.name'
+element is a pointer to a string holding the device driver's name.
+
+The '.match' function allows control over which VME devices should be registered
+with the driver. The match function should return 1 if a device should be
+probed and 0 otherwise. This example match function (from vme_user.c) limits
+the number of devices probed to one:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	#define USER_BUS_MAX	1
+	...
+	static int vme_user_match(struct vme_dev *vdev)
+	{
+		if (vdev->id.num >= USER_BUS_MAX)
+			return 0;
+		return 1;
+	}
+
+The '.probe' element should contain a pointer to the probe routine. The
+probe routine is passed a :c:type:`struct vme_dev <vme_dev>` pointer as an
+argument.
+
+Here, the 'num' field refers to the sequential device ID for this specific
+driver. The bridge number (or bus number) can be accessed using
+dev->bridge->num.
+
+A function is also provided to unregister the driver from the VME core called
+:c:func:`vme_unregister_driver` and should usually be called from the device
+driver's exit routine.
+
+
+Resource management
+-------------------
+
+Once a driver has registered with the VME core the provided match routine will
+be called the number of times specified during the registration. If a match
+succeeds, a non-zero value should be returned. A zero return value indicates
+failure. For all successful matches, the probe routine of the corresponding
+driver is called. The probe routine is passed a pointer to the devices
+device structure. This pointer should be saved, it will be required for
+requesting VME resources.
+
+The driver can request ownership of one or more master windows
+(:c:func:`vme_master_request`), slave windows (:c:func:`vme_slave_request`)
+and/or dma channels (:c:func:`vme_dma_request`). Rather than allowing the device
+driver to request a specific window or DMA channel (which may be used by a
+different driver) the API allows a resource to be assigned based on the required
+attributes of the driver in question. For slave windows these attributes are
+split into the VME address spaces that need to be accessed in 'aspace' and VME
+bus cycle types required in 'cycle'. Master windows add a further set of
+attributes in 'width' specifying the required data transfer widths. These
+attributes are defined as bitmasks and as such any combination of the
+attributes can be requested for a single window, the core will assign a window
+that meets the requirements, returning a pointer of type vme_resource that
+should be used to identify the allocated resource when it is used. For DMA
+controllers, the request function requires the potential direction of any
+transfers to be provided in the route attributes. This is typically VME-to-MEM
+and/or MEM-to-VME, though some hardware can support VME-to-VME and MEM-to-MEM
+transfers as well as test pattern generation. If an unallocated window fitting
+the requirements can not be found a NULL pointer will be returned.
+
+Functions are also provided to free window allocations once they are no longer
+required. These functions (:c:func:`vme_master_free`, :c:func:`vme_slave_free`
+and :c:func:`vme_dma_free`) should be passed the pointer to the resource
+provided during resource allocation.
+
+
+Master windows
+--------------
+
+Master windows provide access from the local processor[s] out onto the VME bus.
+The number of windows available and the available access modes is dependent on
+the underlying chipset. A window must be configured before it can be used.
+
+
+Master window configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once a master window has been assigned :c:func:`vme_master_set` can be used to
+configure it and :c:func:`vme_master_get` to retrieve the current settings. The
+address spaces, transfer widths and cycle types are the same as described
+under resource management, however some of the options are mutually exclusive.
+For example, only one address space may be specified.
+
+
+Master window access
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_master_read` can be used to read from and
+:c:func:`vme_master_write` used to write to configured master windows.
+
+In addition to simple reads and writes, :c:func:`vme_master_rmw` is provided to
+do a read-modify-write transaction. Parts of a VME window can also be mapped
+into user space memory using :c:func:`vme_master_mmap`.
+
+
+Slave windows
+-------------
+
+Slave windows provide devices on the VME bus access into mapped portions of the
+local memory. The number of windows available and the access modes that can be
+used is dependent on the underlying chipset. A window must be configured before
+it can be used.
+
+
+Slave window configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once a slave window has been assigned :c:func:`vme_slave_set` can be used to
+configure it and :c:func:`vme_slave_get` to retrieve the current settings.
+
+The address spaces, transfer widths and cycle types are the same as described
+under resource management, however some of the options are mutually exclusive.
+For example, only one address space may be specified.
+
+
+Slave window buffer allocation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Functions are provided to allow the user to allocate
+(:c:func:`vme_alloc_consistent`) and free (:c:func:`vme_free_consistent`)
+contiguous buffers which will be accessible by the VME bridge. These functions
+do not have to be used, other methods can be used to allocate a buffer, though
+care must be taken to ensure that they are contiguous and accessible by the VME
+bridge.
+
+
+Slave window access
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Slave windows map local memory onto the VME bus, the standard methods for
+accessing memory should be used.
+
+
+DMA channels
+------------
+
+The VME DMA transfer provides the ability to run link-list DMA transfers. The
+API introduces the concept of DMA lists. Each DMA list is a link-list which can
+be passed to a DMA controller. Multiple lists can be created, extended,
+executed, reused and destroyed.
+
+
+List Management
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_new_dma_list` is provided to create and
+:c:func:`vme_dma_list_free` to destroy DMA lists. Execution of a list will not
+automatically destroy the list, thus enabling a list to be reused for repetitive
+tasks.
+
+
+List Population
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+An item can be added to a list using :c:func:`vme_dma_list_add` (the source and
+destination attributes need to be created before calling this function, this is
+covered under "Transfer Attributes").
+
+.. note::
+
+	The detailed attributes of the transfers source and destination
+	are not checked until an entry is added to a DMA list, the request
+	for a DMA channel purely checks the directions in which the
+	controller is expected to transfer data. As a result it is
+	possible for this call to return an error, for example if the
+	source or destination is in an unsupported VME address space.
+
+Transfer Attributes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The attributes for the source and destination are handled separately from adding
+an item to a list. This is due to the diverse attributes required for each type
+of source and destination. There are functions to create attributes for PCI, VME
+and pattern sources and destinations (where appropriate):
+
+ - PCI source or destination: :c:func:`vme_dma_pci_attribute`
+ - VME source or destination: :c:func:`vme_dma_vme_attribute`
+ - Pattern source: :c:func:`vme_dma_pattern_attribute`
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_dma_free_attribute` should be used to free an
+attribute.
+
+
+List Execution
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_dma_list_exec` queues a list for execution and will
+return once the list has been executed.
+
+
+Interrupts
+----------
+
+The VME API provides functions to attach and detach callbacks to specific VME
+level and status ID combinations and for the generation of VME interrupts with
+specific VME level and status IDs.
+
+
+Attaching Interrupt Handlers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_irq_request` can be used to attach and
+:c:func:`vme_irq_free` to free a specific VME level and status ID combination.
+Any given combination can only be assigned a single callback function. A void
+pointer parameter is provided, the value of which is passed to the callback
+function, the use of this pointer is user undefined. The callback parameters are
+as follows. Care must be taken in writing a callback function, callback
+functions run in interrupt context:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	void callback(int level, int statid, void *priv);
+
+
+Interrupt Generation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_irq_generate` can be used to generate a VME interrupt
+at a given VME level and VME status ID.
+
+
+Location monitors
+-----------------
+
+The VME API provides the following functionality to configure the location
+monitor.
+
+
+Location Monitor Management
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_lm_request` is provided to request the use of a block
+of location monitors and :c:func:`vme_lm_free` to free them after they are no
+longer required. Each block may provide a number of location monitors,
+monitoring adjacent locations. The function :c:func:`vme_lm_count` can be used
+to determine how many locations are provided.
+
+
+Location Monitor Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once a bank of location monitors has been allocated, the function
+:c:func:`vme_lm_set` is provided to configure the location and mode of the
+location monitor. The function :c:func:`vme_lm_get` can be used to retrieve
+existing settings.
+
+
+Location Monitor Use
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_lm_attach` enables a callback to be attached and
+:c:func:`vme_lm_detach` allows on to be detached from each location monitor
+location. Each location monitor can monitor a number of adjacent locations. The
+callback function is declared as follows.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	void callback(void *data);
+
+
+Slot Detection
+--------------
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_slot_num` returns the slot ID of the provided bridge.
+
+
+Bus Detection
+-------------
+
+The function :c:func:`vme_bus_num` returns the bus ID of the provided bridge.
