Well, I'll investigate, but I have been asked to put this header. I'll see if 
I can change it.

OK, I'll try to convert to the religion ...

Wow, I'll have to change this type of thing everywhere.

We tried (I believe) to make them static whenever possible. This particular 
one is global (used elsewhere in pci and bei).

Well, here 0 mean "created/success", 1 means "already there" and -1 means 
error. I guess I could return 0 for "already there".

I'll look into it.

This can't be "include/asm" because it need to be available to all PCI-E host 
architecture. So it need to be something "common". I didn't want to go an 
pollute "include/linux" directly so I am actually seeking advice on where 
architecture independent header files related to the Axon should go.

On FCAB, the device tree is very minimal and doesn't have that much in it. I 
am not in control of the device tree. It is provided by IBM and it sounds 
like the FCAB device tree is stuck forever at that point. I'll see if I can 
come up with my own device tree using DTC and the flattened device tree.

the intend was to mean "Private" (static). As it is not respected in other 
files it should go.

This could be a pointer accross the PCI-E bus to the other side memory space. 
It has to be volatile when/if you were to write to it. Actually it is 
assigned but not used so I guess I could remove the "volatile" thing even if 
it sounds correct to me.

_t is for type. Hum this one is not "typedefs". I'll look into it.

pointer ...

it is a pointer to an IO space where live the DMA control registers. It can be 
on the PLB or on DCR depending on the DMA (Aux_DMA, DMAX).

On the PCI side you (typically) have 2 x 128 MB bar to map 1TB Axon space. So 
you need to "allocate" bars/PIM, set them to target the requested PLB 
address ... It is not a  1 to 1 mapping. It is a lot more restricted over 
PCI-E (from the host).

Same as above, you need to allocate, set, unset, free the PIM on the PCI side.

here we are accessing the Axon (BE) from the host (potentially LE). So we need 
to be very carefull about endianess. This is true all around the code.

Well we are not sure how the public Axon spec will be but in the one that was 
provided to us, this is how things were defined. So we preffer to stick to 
the spec definition and come up with translation rules rather than hard to 
reconcile values between the spec and the code.

I guess this is a choice. Is it really unacceptable?

Remember that I still don't have a "new" OF tree and for the time being I need 
to support the CAB/FCAB I have. As soon as I get the new device tree and I 
can move to 2.6.19 or later this could go I guess (assuming I come up with a 
solution for FCAB).

Same reason ...

In addition the host side of thing (opteron based for example) has no OF tree 
to play with. So things need to be hardcoded a bit. Note that these are Axon 
internal addresses and should always be valid (from the host or the Cell).

Yes, I need to work on this.

See above ... from the host you need to go through limited bars and change the 
setting of these bars to get to the required location in the Axon PLB 
address.
