Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API manual. Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work. There's no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends. But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that do port I/O :). The :c:func: notation has been left off of all the read*/write* functions. There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory" comments lacks appeal.

The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
|
|
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
|
|
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
|
|
available subsections can be seen below.
