For requests + allocated in IOP memory, write the offset to inbound queue port. For + requests allocated in host memory, write (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5)) + to the inbound queue port. + + - The IOP process the request.

If IOP_REQUEST_FLAG_OUTPUT_CONTEXT + flag is set in the request, the low 32-bit context value will be + posted instead. + + - The host read the outbound queue and complete the request. + + For requests allocated in IOP memory, the host driver free the request + by writing it to the outbound queue. + +Non-queued requests (reset/flush etc) can be sent via inbound message +register 0.
