+ *    Interfaces to retrieve and set PDC Stable options (firmware)
+ *
+ *    Copyright (C) 2005-2006 Thibaut VARENE <varenet@parisc-linux.org>
+ *
+ *    DEV NOTE: the PDC Procedures reference states that:
+ *    "A minimum of 96 bytes of Stable Storage is required. Providing more than
+ *    96 bytes of Stable Storage is optional [...]. Failure to provide the
+ *    optional locations from 96 to 192 results in the loss of certain
+ *    functionality during boot."
+ *
+ *    Since locations between 96 and 192 are the various paths, most (if not
+ *    all) PA-RISC machines should have them. Anyway, for safety reasons, the
+ *    following code can deal with just 96 bytes of Stable Storage, and all
+ *    sizes between 96 and 192 bytes (provided they are multiple of struct
+ *    pdc_module_path size, eg: 128, 160 and 192) to provide full information.
+ *    One last word: there's one path we can always count on: the primary path.
+ *    Anything above 224 bytes is used for 'osdep2' OS-dependent storage area.
+ *
+ *    The first OS-dependent area should always be available. Obviously, this is
+ *    not true for the other one. Also bear in mind that reading/writing from/to
+ *    osdep2 is much more expensive than from/to osdep1.
+ *    NOTE: We do not handle the 2 bytes OS-dep area at 0x5D, nor the first
+ *    2 bytes of storage available right after OSID. That's a total of 4 bytes
+ *    sacrificed: -ETOOLAZY :P
+ *
+ *    The current policy wrt file permissions is:
+ *	- write: root only
+ *	- read: (reading triggers PDC calls) ? root only : everyone
+ *    The rationale is that PDC calls could hog (DoS) the machine.
+ *
+ *	TODO:
+ *	- timer/fastsize write calls
