Michael S. Tsirkin ccb86a6907 uio: add generic driver for PCI 2.3 devices
This adds a generic uio driver that can bind to any PCI device.  First
user will be virtualization where a qemu userspace process needs to give
guest OS access to the device.

Interrupts are handled using the Interrupt Disable bit in the PCI
command register and Interrupt Status bit in the PCI status register.
All devices compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and all compliant PCI
Express devices should support these bits.  Driver detects this support,
and won't bind to devices which do not support the Interrupt Disable Bit
in the command register.

It's expected that more features of interest to virtualization will be
added to this driver in the future. Possibilities are: mmap for device
resources, MSI/MSI-X, eventfd (to interface with kvm), iommu.

menuconfig UIO
tristate "Userspace I/O drivers"
depends on !S390
help
Enable this to allow the userspace driver core code to be
built. This code allows userspace programs easy access to
kernel interrupts and memory locations, allowing some drivers
to be written in userspace. Note that a small kernel driver
is also required for interrupt handling to work properly.

help
Driver for Hilscher CIF DeviceNet and Profibus cards. This
driver requires a userspace component that handles all of the
heavy lifting and can be found at:
http://www.osadl.org/projects/downloads/UIO/user/cif-*
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called uio_cif.

Generic platform driver for Userspace I/O devices.

config UIO_PDRV_GENIRQ
tristate "Userspace I/O platform driver with generic IRQ handling"
help
Platform driver for Userspace I/O devices, including generic
interrupt handling code. Shared interrupts are not supported.
This kernel driver requires that the matching userspace driver
handles interrupts in a special way. Userspace is responsible
for acknowledging the hardware device if needed, and re-enabling
interrupts in the interrupt controller using the write() syscall.
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
config UIO_SMX
tristate "SMX cryptengine UIO interface"
help
Userspace IO interface to the Cryptography engine found on the
Nias Digital SMX boards. These will be available from Q4 2008
from http://www.niasdigital.com. The userspace part of this
driver will be released under the GPL at the same time as the
hardware and will be able to be downloaded from the same site.
If you compile this as a module, it will be called uio_smx.
config UIO_AEC
tristate "AEC video timestamp device"
depends on PCI
help
UIO driver for the Adrienne Electronics Corporation PCI time
code device.
This device differs from other UIO devices since it uses I/O
ports instead of memory mapped I/O. In order to make it
possible for UIO to work with this device a utility, uioport,
can be used to read and write the ports:
git clone git://ifup.org/philips/uioport.git
If you compile this as a module, it will be called uio_aec.
config UIO_SERCOS3

Userspace I/O interface for the Sercos III PCI card from
Automata GmbH. The userspace part of this driver will be
available for download from the Automata GmbH web site.
Automata GmbH: http://www.automataweb.com
Sercos III interface: http://www.sercos.com
If you compile this as a module, it will be called uio_sercos3.

help
Generic driver that you can bind, dynamically, to any
PCI 2.3 compliant and PCI Express card. It is useful,
primarily, for virtualization scenarios.
If you compile this as a module, it will be called uio_pci_generic.
