[PATCH] RapidIO support: core base
Adds a RapidIO subsystem to the kernel. RIO is a switched fabric interconnect used in higher-end embedded applications. The curious can look at the specs over at http://www.rapidio.org The core code implements enumeration/discovery, management of devices/resources, and interfaces for RIO drivers. There's a lot more to do to take advantages of all the hardware features. However, this should provide a good base for folks with RIO hardware to start contributing.

+ <para>
+ RapidIO is a high speed switched fabric interconnect with
+ features aimed at the embedded market. RapidIO provides
+ support for memory-mapped I/O as well as message-based
+ transactions over the switched fabric network. RapidIO has
+ a standardized discovery mechanism not unlike the PCI bus
+ standard that allows simple detection of devices in a
+ network.

+ This documentation is provided for developers intending
+ to support RapidIO on new architectures, write new drivers,
