Add RapidIO enumeration/discovery start from user space. User space
start allows to defer RapidIO fabric scan until the moment when all
participating endpoints are initialized avoiding mandatory synchronized
start of all endpoints (which may be challenging in systems with large
number of RapidIO endpoints).

Systems that use RapidIO fabric may need to implement their own
enumeration and discovery methods which are better suitable for needs of
a target application.
The following set of patches is intended to simplify process of
introduction of new RapidIO fabric enumeration/discovery methods.
The first patch offers ability to add new RapidIO enumeration/discovery
methods using kernel configuration options. This new configuration
option mechanism allows to select statically linked or modular
enumeration/discovery method(s) from the list of existing methods or use
external module(s).
This patch also updates the currently existing enumeration/discovery
code to be used as a statically linked or modular method.
The corresponding configuration option is named "Basic
enumeration/discovery" method. This is the only one configuration
option available today but new methods are expected to be introduced
after adoption of provided patches.
The second patch address a long time complaint of RapidIO subsystem
users regarding fabric enumeration/discovery start sequence. Existing
implementation offers only a boot-time enumeration/discovery start which
requires synchronized boot of all endpoints in RapidIO network. While
it works for small closed configurations with limited number of
endpoints, using this approach in systems with large number of endpoints
is quite challenging.
To eliminate requirement for synchronized start the second patch
introduces RapidIO enumeration/discovery start from user space.
For compatibility with the existing RapidIO subsystem implementation,
automatic boot time enumeration/discovery start can be configured in by
specifying "rio-scan.scan=1" command line parameter if statically linked
basic enumeration method is selected.
This patch:
Rework to implement RapidIO enumeration/discovery method selection
combined with ability to use enumeration/discovery as a kernel module.
This patch adds ability to introduce new RapidIO enumeration/discovery
methods using kernel configuration options. Configuration option
mechanism allows to select statically linked or modular
enumeration/discovery method from the list of existing methods or use
external modules. If a modular enumeration/discovery is selected each
RapidIO mport device can have its own method attached to it.
The existing enumeration/discovery code was updated to be used as
statically linked or modular method. This configuration option is named
"Basic enumeration/discovery" method.
Several common routines have been moved from rio-scan.c to make them
available to other enumeration methods and reduce number of exported
symbols.

This set of RapidIO patches extends support for standard error recovery
mechanism and adds new IDT Gen2 sRIO switch devices - CPS-1848 and
CPS-1616. Implementation of the standard error-stopped state recovery
mechanism (as defined by the RapidIO specification) is required for the
new switches.
Version 2 of this set of patches addresses received comments and fixes an
error notification setup issue found in the idt_gen2.c after the first
version was released.
This patch:
Make RapidIO devices appear in /sys/devices/rapidio directory instead of
top of /sys/devices directory.

Adds a RapidIO subsystem to the kernel. RIO is a switched fabric interconnect
used in higher-end embedded applications. The curious can look at the specs
over at http://www.rapidio.org
The core code implements enumeration/discovery, management of
devices/resources, and interfaces for RIO drivers.
There's a lot more to do to take advantages of all the hardware features.
However, this should provide a good base for folks with RIO hardware to start
contributing.
