[Cbe-oss-dev] [patch 00/16] powerpc and x86_64: Initial port of PCIe endpoint device driver for Axon

[Murali Iyer]

NOT FOR INCLUSION IN MAINLINE.

This prototype device driver(s) developed to demonstrate high speed
data transfer across PCIe bus for IBM's Axon Cell Companion chip connecting x86_64
compatible host and CBE based Blade system.
In general, this patch set provides remote DMA kind of interface and virtual
ethernet interface across PCIe bus. For details see the each patches.

This patch set applies to 2.6.23.1 (yes not to the HEAD). There are several
improvements needs to be made including porting to HEAD, breaking into multiple
drivers for greater acceptability and usability, coding style including making sparse
happy etc. etc.

We are mailing this, so interested people could get early access to the code.
Hopefully, in the coming weeks will start posting drivers in small chunks for
review and hopefully for upstreaming.

Configure the following for Cell based systems to get axon.ko and apnet.ko

CONFIG_TB_AXON=m
CONFIG_TB_AXON_MTRR_SMA=y
CONFIG_APNET=m

and for x86_64 systems

CONFIG_TB_AXON=m
CONFIG_TB_AXON_PCI=y
CONFIG_TB_AXON_MTRR_SMA=y
CONFIG_APNET=m

Some patches are very large and not sure this mailing list takes it.

anyway, hitting the send button.
