-API
-===
-
-DMA Resource Allocation incomplete
-----------------------------------
-
-The current DMA resource Allocation provides no means of selecting the
-suitability of a DMA controller based on it's supported modes of operation, as
-opposed to the resource allocation mechanisms for master and slave windows:
-
- struct vme_resource *vme_dma_request(struct device *dev);
-
-As opposed to:
-
- struct vme_resource * vme_master_request(struct device *dev,
- vme_address_t aspace, vme_cycle_t cycle, vme_width_t width);
-
-The TSI148 can perform, VME-to-PCI, PCI-to-VME, PATTERN-to-VME, PATTERN-to-PCI,
-VME-to-VME and PCI-to-PCI transfers. The CA91C142 can only provide VME-to-PCI
-and PCI-to-VME.
-
-Add a mechanism to select a VME controller based on source/target type,
-required aspace, cycle and width requirements.
-
-
-Master window broadcast select mask
------------------------------------
-
-API currently provides no method to set or get Broadcast Select mask. Suggest
-somthing like:
-
- int vme_master_bmsk_set (struct vme_resource *res, int mask);
- int vme_master_bmsk_get (struct vme_resource *res, int *mask);
-
-
-Interrupt Generation
---------------------
-
-Add optional timeout when waiting for an IACK.
-
-
-CR/CSR Buffer
--------------
-
-The VME API provides no functions to access the buffer mapped into the CR/CSR
-space.
-
-
-Mailboxes
----------
-
-Whilst not part of the VME specification, they are provided by a number of
-chips. They are currently not supported at all by the API.
-
-
-Core
-====
-
-- Rename vme_master_resource's "pci_resource" to be bus agnostic.
-- Improve generic sanity checks (Such as does an offset and size fit within a
- window and parameter checking).
-
-Bridge Support
-==============
-
-Tempe (tsi148)
---------------
-
-- Driver can currently only support a single bridge.
-- 2eSST Broadcast mode.
-- Mailboxes unsupported.
-- Improve error detection.
-- Control of prefetch size, threshold.
-- Arbiter control
-- Requestor control
-
-Universe II (ca91c142)
-----------------------
-
-- Driver can currently only support a single bridge.
-- DMA unsupported.
-- RMW transactions unsupported.
-- Location Monitors unsupported.
-- Mailboxes unsupported.
-- Error Detection.
-- Control of prefetch size, threshold.
-- Arbiter control
-- Requestor control
-- Slot detection
-
-Universe I (ca91x042)
----------------------
-
-Currently completely unsupported.
