See the comment headers in the source code (or the docbook generated

+However, given that there are no fewer than four families of RCU APIs
+in the Linux kernel, how do you choose which one to use? The following
+list can be helpful:
+
+a. Will readers need to block? If so, you need SRCU.
+
+b. What about the -rt patchset? If readers would need to block
+ in an non-rt kernel, you need SRCU. If readers would block
+ in a -rt kernel, but not in a non-rt kernel, SRCU is not
+ necessary.
+
+c. Do you need to treat NMI handlers, hardirq handlers,
+ and code segments with preemption disabled (whether
+ via preempt_disable(), local_irq_save(), local_bh_disable(),
+ or some other mechanism) as if they were explicit RCU readers?
+ If so, you need RCU-sched.
+
+d. Do you need RCU grace periods to complete even in the face
+ of softirq monopolization of one or more of the CPUs? For
+ example, is your code subject to network-based denial-of-service
+ attacks? If so, you need RCU-bh.
+
+e. Is your workload too update-intensive for normal use of
+ RCU, but inappropriate for other synchronization mechanisms?
+ If so, consider SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU. But please be careful!
+
+f. Otherwise, use RCU.
+
+Of course, this all assumes that you have determined that RCU is in fact

+CE4100 I2C
+----------
+
+CE4100 has one PCI device which is described as the I2C-Controller. This
+PCI device has three PCI-bars, each bar contains a complete I2C
+controller. So we have a total of three independent I2C-Controllers
+which share only an interrupt line.
+The driver is probed via the PCI-ID and is gathering the information of
+attached devices from the devices tree.
+Grant Likely recommended to use the ranges property to map the PCI-Bar
+number to its physical address and to use this to find the child nodes
+of the specific I2C controller. This were his exact words:
+
+ Here's where the magic happens. Each entry in
+ ranges describes how the parent pci address space
+ (middle group of 3) is translated to the local
+ address space (first group of 2) and the size of
+ each range (last cell). In this particular case,
+ the first cell of the local address is chosen to be
+ 1:1 mapped to the BARs, and the second is the
+ offset from be base of the BAR (which would be

+ Motorola mc146818 compatible RTC
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible : "motorola,mc146818"
+ - reg : should contain registers location and length.
+
+Optional properties:
+ - interrupts : should contain interrupt.
+ - interrupt-parent : interrupt source phandle.
+ - ctrl-reg : Contains the initial value of the control register also
+ called "Register B".
+ - freq-reg : Contains the initial value of the frequency register also
+ called "Regsiter A".
+
+"Register A" and "B" are usually initialized by the firmware (BIOS for
+instance). If this is not done, it can be performed by the driver.
+
+ISA Example:
+
+ rtc@70 {
+ compatible = "motorola,mc146818";
+ interrupts = <8 3>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&ioapic1>;
+ ctrl-reg = <2>;
+ freq-reg = <0x26>;
+ reg = <1 0x70 2>;
+ };

+CE4100 Device Tree Bindings
+---------------------------
+
+The CE4100 SoC uses for in core peripherals the following compatible
+format: <vendor>,<chip>-<device>.
+Many of the "generic" devices like HPET or IO APIC have the ce4100
+name in their compatible property because they first appeared in this
+SoC.
+
+The CPU node
+------------
+ cpu@0 {
+ device_type = "cpu";
+ compatible = "intel,ce4100";
+ reg = <0>;
+ lapic = <&lapic0>;
+ };
+
+The reg property describes the CPU number. The lapic property points to
+the local APIC timer.
+
+The SoC node
+------------
+
+This node describes the in-core peripherals. Required property:

+TRANSITIVITY
+------------
+
+Transitivity is a deeply intuitive notion about ordering that is not
+always provided by real computer systems. The following example
+demonstrates transitivity (also called "cumulativity"):
+
+ CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3
+ ======================= ======================= =======================
+ { X = 0, Y = 0 }
+ STORE X=1 LOAD X STORE Y=1
+ <general barrier> <general barrier>
+ LOAD Y LOAD X
+
+Suppose that CPU 2's load from X returns 1 and its load from Y returns 0.
+This indicates that CPU 2's load from X in some sense follows CPU 1's
+store to X and that CPU 2's load from Y in some sense preceded CPU 3's
+store to Y. The question is then "Can CPU 3's load from X return 0?"
+
+Because CPU 2's load from X in some sense came after CPU 1's store, it
+is natural to expect that CPU 3's load from X must therefore return 1.
+This expectation is an example of transitivity: if a load executing on
+CPU A follows a load from the same variable executing on CPU B, then
+CPU A's load must either return the same value that CPU B's load did,
+or must return some later value.
+
+In the Linux kernel, use of general memory barriers guarantees
+transitivity. Therefore, in the above example, if CPU 2's load from X
+returns 1 and its load from Y returns 0, then CPU 3's load from X must
+also return 1.
+
+However, transitivity is -not- guaranteed for read or write barriers.
+For example, suppose that CPU 2's general barrier in the above example
+is changed to a read barrier as shown below:
+
+ CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3
+ ======================= ======================= =======================
+ { X = 0, Y = 0 }
+ STORE X=1 LOAD X STORE Y=1
+ <read barrier> <general barrier>
+ LOAD Y LOAD X
+
+This substitution destroys transitivity: in this example, it is perfectly
+legal for CPU 2's load from X to return 1, its load from Y to return 0,
+and CPU 3's load from X to return 0.
+
+The key point is that although CPU 2's read barrier orders its pair
+of loads, it does not guarantee to order CPU 1's store. Therefore, if
+this example runs on a system where CPUs 1 and 2 share a store buffer
+or a level of cache, CPU 2 might have early access to CPU 1's writes.
+General barriers are therefore required to ensure that all CPUs agree
+on the combined order of CPU 1's and CPU 2's accesses.
+
+To reiterate, if your code requires transitivity, use general barriers
+throughout.

+Device Power Domains
+--------------------
+Sometimes devices share reference clocks or other power resources. In those
+cases it generally is not possible to put devices into low-power states
+individually. Instead, a set of devices sharing a power resource can be put
+into a low-power state together at the same time by turning off the shared
+power resource. Of course, they also need to be put into the full-power state
+together, by turning the shared power resource on. A set of devices with this
+property is often referred to as a power domain.
+
+Support for power domains is provided through the pwr_domain field of struct
+device. This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_power_domain,
+defined in include/linux/pm.h, providing a set of power management callbacks
+analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver callbacks that are executed
+for the given device during all power transitions, in addition to the respective
+subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, the power domain "suspend" callbacks
+(i.e. ->runtime_suspend(), ->suspend(), ->freeze(), ->poweroff(), etc.) are
+executed after the analogous subsystem-level callbacks, while the power domain
+"resume" callbacks (i.e. ->runtime_resume(), ->resume(), ->thaw(), ->restore,
+etc.) are executed before the analogous subsystem-level callbacks. Error codes
+returned by the "suspend" and "resume" power domain callbacks are ignored.
+
+Power domain ->runtime_idle() callback is executed before the subsystem-level
+->runtime_idle() callback and the result returned by it is not ignored. Namely,
+if it returns error code, the subsystem-level ->runtime_idle() callback will not
+be called and the helper function rpm_idle() executing it will return error
+code. This mechanism is intended to help platforms where saving device state
+is a time consuming operation and should only be carried out if all devices
+in the power domain are idle, before turning off the shared power resource(s).
+Namely, the power domain ->runtime_idle() callback may return error code until
+the pm_runtime_idle() helper (or its asychronous version) has been called for
+all devices in the power domain (it is recommended that the returned error code
+be -EBUSY in those cases), preventing the subsystem-level ->runtime_idle()
+callback from being run prematurely.
+
+The support for device power domains is only relevant to platforms needing to
+use the same subsystem-level (e.g. platform bus type) and device driver power
+management callbacks in many different power domain configurations and wanting
+to avoid incorporating the support for power domains into the subsystem-level
+callbacks. The other platforms need not implement it or take it into account
