-      <title>Introduction</title>
-  <para>
-This document outlines the interface between the Linux scsi mid level
-and lower level drivers. Lower level drivers are variously called HBA
-(host bus adapter) drivers, host drivers (HD) or pseudo adapter drivers.
-The latter alludes to the fact that a lower level driver may be a
-bridge to another IO subsystem (and the "ide-scsi" driver is an example
-of this). There can be many lower level drivers active in a running
-system, but only one per hardware type. For example, the aic7xxx driver
-controls adaptec controllers based on the 7xxx chip series. Most lower
-level drivers can control one or more scsi hosts (a.k.a. scsi initiators).
-  </para>
-<para>
-This document can been found in an ASCII text file in the linux kernel 
-source: <filename>Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt</filename> .
-It currently hold a little more information than this document. The
-<filename>drivers/scsi/hosts.h</filename> and <filename>
-drivers/scsi/scsi.h</filename> headers contain descriptions of members
-of important structures for the scsi subsystem.
-</para>
-  </chapter>
-
-  <chapter id="driver-struct">
-      <title>Driver structure</title>
-  <para>
-Traditionally a lower level driver for the scsi subsystem has been
-at least two files in the drivers/scsi directory. For example, a
-driver called "xyz" has a header file "xyz.h" and a source file
-"xyz.c". [Actually there is no good reason why this couldn't all
-be in one file.] Some drivers that have been ported to several operating
-systems (e.g. aic7xxx which has separate  files for generic and
-OS-specific code) have more than two files. Such drivers tend to have
-their own directory under the drivers/scsi directory.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-scsi_module.c is normally included at the end of a lower
-level driver. For it to work a declaration like this is needed before
-it is included:
-<programlisting>
-    static Scsi_Host_Template driver_template = DRIVER_TEMPLATE;
-    /* DRIVER_TEMPLATE should contain pointers to supported interface
-       functions. Scsi_Host_Template is defined hosts.h */
-    #include "scsi_module.c"
-</programlisting>
-  </para>
-  <para>
-The scsi_module.c assumes the name "driver_template" is appropriately
-defined. It contains 2 functions:
-<orderedlist>

-</para></listitem>

-  </para>
-<para>
-When a new, lower level driver is being added to Linux, the following 
-files (all found in the drivers/scsi directory) will need some attention: 
-Makefile, Config.help and Config.in . It is probably best to look at what 
-an existing lower level driver does in this regard.

+1. Introduction
+2. Statistics Provided (with example)
+3. Configuring cpufreq-stats
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+cpufreq-stats is a driver that provices CPU frequency statistics for each CPU.
+This statistics is provided in /sysfs as a bunch of read_only interfaces. This
+interface (when configured) will appear in a seperate directory under cpufreq
+in /sysfs (<sysfs root>/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/stats/) for each CPU.
+Various statistics will form read_only files under this directory.
+
+This driver is designed to be independent of any particular cpufreq_driver
+that may be running on your CPU. So, it will work with any cpufreq_driver.
+
+
+2. Statistics Provided (with example)
+
+cpufreq stats provides following statistics (explained in detail below).
+-  time_in_state
+-  total_trans
+-  trans_table
+
+All the statistics will be from the time the stats driver has been inserted 
+to the time when a read of a particular statistic is done. Obviously, stats 
+driver will not have any information about the the frequcny transitions before
+the stats driver insertion.

+
+-  time_in_state
+This gives the amount of time spent in each of the frequencies supported by
+this CPU. The cat output will have "<frequency> <time>" pair in each line, which
+will mean this CPU spent <time> usertime units of time at <frequency>. Output
+will have one line for each of the supported freuencies. usertime units here 
+is 10mS (similar to other time exported in /proc).

+Intel 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G Framebuffer driver
+================================================================
+
+A. Introduction
+	This is a framebuffer driver for various Intel 810/815 compatible
+graphics devices.  These would include:
+
+	Intel 830M
+	Intel 810E845G
+	Intel 852GM
+	Intel 855GM
+	Intel 865G
+	Intel 915G
+
+B.  List of available options
+
+   a. "video=intelfb"
+	enables the intelfb driver
+
+	Recommendation: required
+
+   b. "mode=<xres>x<yres>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]"
+	select mode
+
+	Recommendation: user preference
+	(default = 1024x768-32@70)
+
+   c. "vram=<value>"
+	select amount of system RAM in MB to allocate for the video memory
+	if not enough RAM was already allocated by the BIOS.
+
+	Recommendation: 1 - 4 MB.
+	(default = 4 MB)
+
+   d. "voffset=<value>"
+        select at what offset in MB of the logical memory to allocate the
+	framebuffer memory.  The intent is to avoid the memory blocks
+	used by standard graphics applications (XFree86). Depending on your
+        usage, adjust the value up or down, (0 for maximum usage, 63/127 MB
+        for the least amount).  Note, an arbitrary setting may conflict
+        with XFree86.
+
+	Recommendation: do not set
+	(default = 48 MB)
+
+   e. "accel"
+	enable text acceleration.  This can be enabled/reenabled anytime
+	by using 'fbset -accel true/false'.
+
+	Recommendation: enable
+	(default = set)
+
+   f. "hwcursor"
+	enable cursor acceleration.
+
+	Recommendation: enable
+	(default = set)
+
+   g. "mtrr"
+	enable MTRR.  This allows data transfers to the framebuffer memory
+	to occur in bursts which can significantly increase performance.
+	Not very helpful with the intel chips because of 'shared memory'.
+
+	Recommendation: set
+	(default = set)
+
+   h. "fixed"
+	disable mode switching.
+
+	Recommendation: do not set
+	(default = not set)
+
+   The binary parameters can be unset with a "no" prefix, example "noaccel".
+   The default parameter (not named) is the mode.
+
+C. Kernel booting
+
+Separate each option/option-pair by commas (,) and the option from its value
+with an equals sign (=) as in the following:
+
+video=i810fb:option1,option2=value2
+
+Sample Usage
+------------
+
+In /etc/lilo.conf, add the line:
+
+append="video=intelfb:800x600-32@75,accel,hwcursor,vram=8"
+
+This will initialize the framebuffer to 800x600 at 32bpp and 75Hz. The
+framebuffer will use 8 MB of System RAM. hw acceleration of text and cursor
+will be enabled.
+
+D.  Module options
+
+	The module parameters are essentially similar to the kernel
+parameters. The main difference is that you need to include a Boolean value
+(1 for TRUE, and 0 for FALSE) for those options which don't need a value.
+
+Example, to enable MTRR, include "mtrr=1".
+
+Sample Usage
+------------
+
+Using the same setup as described above, load the module like this:
+
+	modprobe intelfb mode=800x600-32@75 vram=8 accel=1 hwcursor=1
+
+Or just add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf
+
+	options intelfb mode=800x600-32@75 vram=8 accel=1 hwcursor=1
+
+and just do a
+
+	modprobe intelfb

   /proc/s390dbf/cio_*/level a number between 0 and 6; see the documentation on

+README for the SCSI media changer driver
+========================================
+
+This is a driver for SCSI Medium Changer devices, which are listed
+with "Type: Medium Changer" in /proc/scsi/scsi.
+
+This is for *real* Jukeboxes.  It is *not* supported to work with
+common small CD-ROM changers, neither one-lun-per-slot SCSI changers
+nor IDE drives.
+
+Userland tools available from here:
+	http://linux.bytesex.org/misc/changer.html
+
+
+General Information
+-------------------
+
+First some words about how changers work: A changer has 2 (possibly
+more) SCSI ID's. One for the changer device which controls the robot,
+and one for the device which actually reads and writes the data. The
+later may be anything, a MOD, a CD-ROM, a tape or whatever. For the
+changer device this is a "don't care", he *only* shuffles around the
+media, nothing else.
+
+
+The SCSI changer model is complex, compared to - for example - IDE-CD
+changers. But it allows to handle nearly all possible cases. It knows
+4 different types of changer elements:
+
+  media transport - this one shuffles around the media, i.e. the
+                    transport arm.  Also known as "picker".
+  storage         - a slot which can hold a media.
+  import/export   - the same as above, but is accessable from outside,
+                    i.e. there the operator (you !) can use this to
+                    fill in and remove media from the changer.
+		    Sometimes named "mailslot".
+  data transfer   - this is the device which reads/writes, i.e. the
+		    CD-ROM / Tape / whatever drive.
+
+None of these is limited to one: A huge Jukebox could have slots for
+123 CD-ROM's, 5 CD-ROM readers (and therefore 6 SCSI ID's: the changer
+and each CD-ROM) and 2 transport arms. No problem to handle.
+
+
+How it is implemented
+---------------------
+
+I implemented the driver as character device driver with a NetBSD-like
+ioctl interface. Just grabbed NetBSD's header file and one of the
+other linux SCSI device drivers as starting point. The interface
+should be source code compatible with NetBSD. So if there is any
+software (anybody knows ???) which supports a BSDish changer driver,
+it should work with this driver too.
+
+Over time a few more ioctls where added, volume tag support for example
+wasn't covered by the NetBSD ioctl API.
+
+
+Current State
+-------------
+
+Support for more than one transport arm is not implemented yet (and
+nobody asked for it so far...).
+
+I test and use the driver myself with a 35 slot cdrom jukebox from
+Grundig.  I got some reports telling it works ok with tape autoloaders
+(Exabyte, HP and DEC).  Some People use this driver with amanda.  It
+works fine with small (11 slots) and a huge (4 MOs, 88 slots)
+magneto-optical Jukebox.  Probably with lots of other changers too, most
+(but not all :-) people mail me only if it does *not* work...
+
+I don't have any device lists, neither black-list nor white-list.  Thus
+it is quite useless to ask me whenever a specific device is supported or
+not.  In theory every changer device which supports the SCSI-2 media
+changer command set should work out-of-the-box with this driver.  If it
+doesn't, it is a bug.  Either within the driver or within the firmware
+of the changer device.
+
+
+Using it
+--------
+
+This is a character device with major number is 86, so use
+"mknod /dev/sch0 c 86 0" to create the special file for the driver.
+
+If the module finds the changer, it prints some messages about the
+device [ try "dmesg" if you don't see anything ] and should show up in
+/proc/devices. If not....  some changers use ID ? / LUN 0 for the
+device and ID ? / LUN 1 for the robot mechanism. But Linux does *not*
+look for LUN's other than 0 as default, becauce there are to many
+broken devices. So you can try:
+
+  1) echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 ID 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi
+     (replace ID with the SCSI-ID of the device)
+  2) boot the kernel with "max_scsi_luns=1" on the command line
+     (append="max_scsi_luns=1" in lilo.conf should do the trick)
+
+
+Trouble?
+--------
+
+If you insmod the driver with "insmod debug=1", it will be verbose and
+prints a lot of stuff to the syslog.  Compiling the kernel with
+CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y improves the quality of the error messages alot
+because the kernel will translate the error codes into human-readable
+strings then.
+
+You can display these messages with the dmesg command (or check the
+logfiles).  If you email me some question becauce of a problem with the
+driver, please include these messages.
+
+
+Insmod options
+--------------
+
+debug=0/1
+	Enable debug messages (see above, default: 0).
+
+verbose=0/1
+	Be verbose (default: 1).
+
+init=0/1
+	Send INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command to the changer
+	at insmod time (default: 1).
+
+timeout_init=<seconds>
+	timeout for the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command
+	(default: 3600).
+
+timeout_move=<seconds>
+	timeout for all other commands (default: 120).
+
+dt_id=<id1>,<id2>,...
+dt_lun=<lun1>,<lun2>,...
+	These two allow to specify the SCSI ID and LUN for the data
+	transfer elements.  You likely don't need this as the jukebox
+	should provide this information.  But some devices don't ...
+
+vendor_firsts=
+vendor_counts=
+vendor_labels=
+	These insmod options can be used to tell the driver that there
+	are some vendor-specific element types.  Grundig for example
+	does this.  Some jukeboxes have a printer to label fresh burned
+	CDs, which is addressed as element 0xc000 (type 5).  To tell the
+	driver about this vendor-specific element, use this:
+		$ insmod ch			\
+			vendor_firsts=0xc000	\
+			vendor_counts=1		\
+			vendor_labels=printer
+	All three insmod options accept up to four comma-separated
+	values, this way you can configure the element types 5-8.
+	You likely need the SCSI specs for the device in question to
+	find the correct values as they are not covered by the SCSI-2
+	standard.

+The SGI IOC4 PCI device is a bit of a strange beast, so some notes on
+it are in order.
+
+First, even though the IOC4 performs multiple functions, such as an
+IDE controller, a serial controller, a PS/2 keyboard/mouse controller,
+and an external interrupt mechanism, it's not implemented as a
+multifunction device.  The consequence of this from a software
+standpoint is that all these functions share a single IRQ, and
+they can't all register to own the same PCI device ID.  To make
+matters a bit worse, some of the register blocks (and even registers
+themselves) present in IOC4 are mixed-purpose between these several
+functions, meaning that there's no clear "owning" device driver.
+
+The solution is to organize the IOC4 driver into several independent
+drivers, "ioc4", "sgiioc4", and "ioc4_serial".  Note that there is no
+PS/2 controller driver as this functionality has never been wired up
+on a shipping IO card.
+
+ioc4
+====
+This is the core (or shim) driver for IOC4.  It is responsible for
+initializing the basic functionality of the chip, and allocating
+the PCI resources that are shared between the IOC4 functions.
+
+This driver also provides registration functions that the other
+IOC4 drivers can call to make their presence known.  Each driver
+needs to provide a probe and remove function, which are invoked
+by the core driver at appropriate times.  The interface of these
+IOC4 function probe and remove operations isn't precisely the same
+as PCI device probe and remove operations, but is logically the
+same operation.
+
+sgiioc4
+=======
+This is the IDE driver for IOC4.  Its name isn't very descriptive
+simply for historical reasons (it used to be the only IOC4 driver
+component).  There's not much to say about it other than it hooks
+up to the ioc4 driver via the appropriate registration, probe, and
+remove functions.
+
+ioc4_serial
+===========
+This is the serial driver for IOC4.  There's not much to say about it
+other than it hooks up to the ioc4 driver via the appropriate registration,
+probe, and remove functions.
