+I/O Request Workflow
+----------------------
+
+All queued requests are handled via inbound/outbound queue port.
+A request packet can be allocated in either IOP or host memory.
+
+To send a request to the controller:
+
+ - Get a free request packet by reading the inbound queue port or
+ allocate a free request in host DMA coherent memory.
+
+ The value returned from the inbound queue port is an offset
+ relative to the IOP BAR0.
+
+ Requests allocated in host memory must be aligned on 32-bytes boundary.
+
+ - Fill the packet.
+
+ - Post the packet to IOP by writing it to inbound queue. 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. When the request is completed, it
+ will be put into outbound queue. An outbound interrupt will be
+ generated.
+
+ For requests allocated in IOP memory, the request offset is posted to
+ outbound queue.
+
+ For requests allocated in host memory, (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5))
+ is posted to the outbound queue. 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. An outbound message with the same value indicates the completion
+of an inbound message.
+
+
+User-level Interface
+---------------------
+
+The driver exposes following sysfs attributes:
+
+ NAME R/W Description
+ driver-version R driver version string
+ firmware-version R firmware version string
