+===========================================
+Atomic Operation Control (ATOMCTL) Register
+===========================================
+
+We Have Atomic Operation Control (ATOMCTL) Register.
+This register determines the effect of using a S32C1I instruction
+with various combinations of:
+
+ 1. With and without an Coherent Cache Controller which
+ can do Atomic Transactions to the memory internally.
+
+ 2. With and without An Intelligent Memory Controller which
+ can do Atomic Transactions itself.
+
+The Core comes up with a default value of for the three types of cache ops::
+
+ 0x28: (WB: Internal, WT: Internal, BY:Exception)
+
+On the FPGA Cards we typically simulate an Intelligent Memory controller
+which can implement RCW transactions. For FPGA cards with an External
+Memory controller we let it to the atomic operations internally while
+doing a Cached (WB) transaction and use the Memory RCW for un-cached
+operations.
+
+For systems without an coherent cache controller, non-MX, we always
+use the memory controllers RCW, thought non-MX controlers likely
+support the Internal Operation.
+
+CUSTOMER-WARNING:
+ Virtually all customers buy their memory controllers from vendors that
+ don't support atomic RCW memory transactions and will likely want to
+ configure this register to not use RCW.
+
+Developers might find using RCW in Bypass mode convenient when testing
+with the cache being bypassed; for example studying cache alias problems.
+

+=====================================
+Passing boot parameters to the kernel
+=====================================
+
+Boot parameters are represented as a TLV list in the memory. Please see
+arch/xtensa/include/asm/bootparam.h for definition of the bp_tag structure and
+tag value constants. First entry in the list must have type BP_TAG_FIRST, last
+entry must have type BP_TAG_LAST. The address of the first list entry is
+passed to the kernel in the register a2. The address type depends on MMU type:
+
+- For configurations without MMU, with region protection or with MPU the
+ address must be the physical address.
+- For configurations with region translarion MMU or with MMUv3 and CONFIG_MMU=n
+ the address must be a valid address in the current mapping. The kernel will
+ not change the mapping on its own.
+- For configurations with MMUv2 the address must be a virtual address in the
+ default virtual mapping (0xd0000000..0xffffffff).
+- For configurations with MMUv3 and CONFIG_MMU=y the address may be either a
+ virtual or physical address. In either case it must be within the default
+ virtual mapping. It is considered physical if it is within the range of
+ physical addresses covered by the default KSEG mapping (XCHAL_KSEG_PADDR..
+ XCHAL_KSEG_PADDR + XCHAL_KSEG_SIZE), otherwise it is considered virtual.

+=============================
+MMUv3 initialization sequence
+=============================
+
+The code in the initialize_mmu macro sets up MMUv3 memory mapping
+identically to MMUv2 fixed memory mapping. Depending on
+CONFIG_INITIALIZE_XTENSA_MMU_INSIDE_VMLINUX symbol this code is
+located in addresses it was linked for (symbol undefined), or not
+(symbol defined), so it needs to be position-independent.
+
+The code has the following assumptions:
+
+ - This code fragment is run only on an MMU v3.
+ - TLBs are in their reset state.
+ - ITLBCFG and DTLBCFG are zero (reset state).
+ - RASID is 0x04030201 (reset state).
+ - PS.RING is zero (reset state).
+ - LITBASE is zero (reset state, PC-relative literals); required to be PIC.
+
+TLB setup proceeds along the following steps.
+
+ Legend:
+
+ - VA = virtual address (two upper nibbles of it);
+ - PA = physical address (two upper nibbles of it);
+ - pc = physical range that contains this code;
+
+After step 2, we jump to virtual address in the range 0x40000000..0x5fffffff
+or 0x00000000..0x1fffffff, depending on whether the kernel was loaded below
+0x40000000 or above. That address corresponds to next instruction to execute
+in this code. After step 4, we jump to intended (linked) address of this code.
+The scheme below assumes that the kernel is loaded below 0x40000000.

+The default location of IO peripherals is above 0xf0000000. This may be changed
+using a "ranges" property in a device tree simple-bus node. See the Devicetree
+Specification, section 4.5 for details on the syntax and semantics of
+simple-bus nodes. The following limitations apply:
+
+1. Only top level simple-bus nodes are considered
+
+2. Only one (first) simple-bus node is considered
+
+3. Empty "ranges" properties are not supported
+
+4. Only the first triplet in the "ranges" property is considered
+
+5. The parent-bus-address value is rounded down to the nearest 256MB boundary
+
+6. The IO area covers the entire 256MB segment of parent-bus-address; the
+ "ranges" triplet length field is ignored
