RapidIO subsystem mport driver for IDT Tsi721 PCI Express-to-SRIO bridge.
=========================================================================

I. Overview

This driver implements all currently defined RapidIO mport callback functions.
It supports maintenance read and write operations, inbound and outbound RapidIO
doorbells, inbound maintenance port-writes and RapidIO messaging.

To generate SRIO maintenance transactions this driver uses one of Tsi721 DMA
channels. This mechanism provides access to larger range of hop counts and
destination IDs without need for changes in outbound window translation.

RapidIO messaging support uses dedicated messaging channels for each mailbox.
For inbound messages this driver uses destination ID matching to forward messages
into the corresponding message queue. Messaging callbacks are implemented to be
fully compatible with RIONET driver (Ethernet over RapidIO messaging services).

II. Known problems

  None.

III. To do

 Add DMA data transfers (non-messaging).
 Add inbound region (SRIO-to-PCIe) mapping.

IV. Version History

  1.0.0 - Initial driver release.
