+- It is theoretically possible to see wrong values for user and system times.

+- It is possible to see slightly outdated values for user and system times

+Datagram vs Connected modes
+
+  The IPoIB driver supports two modes of operation: datagram and
+  connected.  The mode is set and read through an interface's
+  /sys/class/net/<intf name>/mode file.
+
+  In datagram mode, the IB UD (Unreliable Datagram) transport is used
+  and so the interface MTU has is equal to the IB L2 MTU minus the
+  IPoIB encapsulation header (4 bytes).  For example, in a typical IB
+  fabric with a 2K MTU, the IPoIB MTU will be 2048 - 4 = 2044 bytes.
+
+  In connected mode, the IB RC (Reliable Connected) transport is used.
+  Connected mode is to takes advantage of the connected nature of the
+  IB transport and allows an MTU up to the maximal IP packet size of
+  64K, which reduces the number of IP packets needed for handling
+  large UDP datagrams, TCP segments, etc and increases the performance
+  for large messages.
+
+  In connected mode, the interface's UD QP is still used for multicast
+  and communication with peers that don't support connected mode. In
+  this case, RX emulation of ICMP PMTU packets is used to cause the
+  networking stack to use the smaller UD MTU for these neighbours.
+
+Stateless offloads
+
+  If the IB HW supports IPoIB stateless offloads, IPoIB advertises
+  TCP/IP checksum and/or Large Send (LSO) offloading capability to the
+  network stack.
+
+  Large Receive (LRO) offloading is also implemented and may be turned
+  on/off using ethtool calls.  Currently LRO is supported only for
+  checksum offload capable devices.
+
+  Stateless offloads are supported only in datagram mode.  
+
+Interrupt moderation
+
+  If the underlying IB device supports CQ event moderation, one can
+  use ethtool to set interrupt mitigation parameters and thus reduce
+  the overhead incurred by handling interrupts.  The main code path of
+  IPoIB doesn't use events for TX completion signaling so only RX
+  moderation is supported.

+rotary-encoder - a generic driver for GPIO connected devices
+Daniel Mack <daniel@caiaq.de>, Feb 2009
+
+0. Function
+-----------
+
+Rotary encoders are devices which are connected to the CPU or other
+peripherals with two wires. The outputs are phase-shifted by 90 degrees
+and by triggering on falling and rising edges, the turn direction can
+be determined.
+
+The phase diagram of these two outputs look like this:
+
+                  _____       _____       _____
+                 |     |     |     |     |     |

+
+
+1. Events / state machine
+-------------------------
+
+a) Rising edge on channel A, channel B in low state
+	This state is used to recognize a clockwise turn
+
+b) Rising edge on channel B, channel A in high state
+	When entering this state, the encoder is put into 'armed' state,
+	meaning that there it has seen half the way of a one-step transition.
+
+c) Falling edge on channel A, channel B in high state
+	This state is used to recognize a counter-clockwise turn
+
+d) Falling edge on channel B, channel A in low state
+	Parking position. If the encoder enters this state, a full transition
+	should have happend, unless it flipped back on half the way. The
+	'armed' state tells us about that.
+
+2. Platform requirements
+------------------------
+
+As there is no hardware dependent call in this driver, the platform it is
+used with must support gpiolib. Another requirement is that IRQs must be
+able to fire on both edges.
+
+
+3. Board integration
+--------------------
+
+To use this driver in your system, register a platform_device with the
+name 'rotary-encoder' and associate the IRQs and some specific platform
+data with it.
+
+struct rotary_encoder_platform_data is declared in
+include/linux/rotary-encoder.h and needs to be filled with the number of
+steps the encoder has and can carry information about externally inverted
+signals (because of used invertig buffer or other reasons).
+
+Because GPIO to IRQ mapping is platform specific, this information must
+be given in seperately to the driver. See the example below.

+=== 7 Kbuild syntax for exported headers
+
+The kernel include a set of headers that is exported to userspace.
+Many headers can be exported as-is but other headers requires  a
+minimal pre-processing before they are ready for user-space.
+The pre-processing does:
+- drop kernel specific annotations
+- drop include of compiler.h
+- drop all sections that is kernel internat (guarded by ifdef __KERNEL__)
+
+Each relevant directory contain a file name "Kbuild" which specify the
+headers to be exported.
+See subsequent chapter for the syntax of the Kbuild file.
+
+	--- 7.1 header-y
+
+	header-y specify header files to be exported.
+
+		Example:
+			#include/linux/Kbuild
+			header-y += usb/
+			header-y += aio_abi.h
+
+	The convention is to list one file per line and
+	preferably in alphabetic order.
+
+	header-y also specify which subdirectories to visit.
+	A subdirectory is identified by a trailing '/' which
+	can be seen in the example above for the usb subdirectory.
+
+	Subdirectories are visited before their parent directories.
+
+	--- 7.2 objhdr-y
+
+	objhdr-y specifies generated files to be exported.
+	Generated files are special as they need to be looked
+	up in another directory when doing 'make O=...' builds.
+
+		Example:
+			#include/linux/Kbuild
+			objhdr-y += version.h
+
+	--- 7.3 destination-y
+
+	When an architecture have a set of exported headers that needs to be
+	exported to a different directory destination-y is used.
+	destination-y specify the destination directory for all exported
+	headers in the file where it is present.
+
+		Example:
+			#arch/xtensa/platforms/s6105/include/platform/Kbuild
+			destination-y := include/linux
+
+	In the example above all exported headers in the Kbuild file
+	will be located in the directory "include/linux" when exported.
+
+
+	--- 7.4 unifdef-y (deprecated)

+	unifdef-y is deprecated. A direct replacement is header-y.
