[PATCH] RapidIO support: core base
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.
