+However, given that there are no fewer than four families of RCU APIs
+in the Linux kernel, how do you choose which one to use?  The following
+list can be helpful:
+
+a.	Will readers need to block?  If so, you need SRCU.
+
+b.	What about the -rt patchset?  If readers would need to block
+	in an non-rt kernel, you need SRCU.  If readers would block
+	in a -rt kernel, but not in a non-rt kernel, SRCU is not
+	necessary.
+
+c.	Do you need to treat NMI handlers, hardirq handlers,
+	and code segments with preemption disabled (whether
+	via preempt_disable(), local_irq_save(), local_bh_disable(),
+	or some other mechanism) as if they were explicit RCU readers?
+	If so, you need RCU-sched.
+
+d.	Do you need RCU grace periods to complete even in the face
+	of softirq monopolization of one or more of the CPUs?  For
+	example, is your code subject to network-based denial-of-service
+	attacks?  If so, you need RCU-bh.
+
+e.	Is your workload too update-intensive for normal use of
+	RCU, but inappropriate for other synchronization mechanisms?
+	If so, consider SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU.  But please be careful!
+
+f.	Otherwise, use RCU.
+
+Of course, this all assumes that you have determined that RCU is in fact

+CE4100 I2C
+----------
+
+CE4100 has one PCI device which is described as the I2C-Controller. This
+PCI device has three PCI-bars, each bar contains a complete I2C
+controller. So we have a total of three independent I2C-Controllers
+which share only an interrupt line.
+The driver is probed via the PCI-ID and is gathering the information of
+attached devices from the devices tree.
+Grant Likely recommended to use the ranges property to map the PCI-Bar
+number to its physical address and to use this to find the child nodes
+of the specific I2C controller. This were his exact words:
+
+       Here's where the magic happens.  Each entry in
+       ranges describes how the parent pci address space
+       (middle group of 3) is translated to the local
+       address space (first group of 2) and the size of
+       each range (last cell).  In this particular case,
+       the first cell of the local address is chosen to be
+       1:1 mapped to the BARs, and the second is the
+       offset from be base of the BAR (which would be
+       non-zero if you had 2 or more devices mapped off
+       the same BAR)
+
+       ranges allows the address mapping to be described
+       in a way that the OS can interpret without
+       requiring custom device driver code.
+
+This is an example which is used on FalconFalls:

+The CE4100 SoC uses for in core peripherals the following compatible
+format: <vendor>,<chip>-<device>.
+Many of the "generic" devices like HPET or IO APIC have the ce4100
+name in their compatible property because they first appeared in this
+SoC.

+		compatible = "intel,ce4100";
+		reg = <0>;

+

+
+The SoC node
+------------
+
+This node describes the in-core peripherals. Required property:

+
+The PCI node
+------------
+This node describes the PCI bus on the SoC. Its property should be
+  compatible = "intel,ce4100-pci", "pci";
+
+If the OS is using the IO-APIC for interrupt routing then the reported
+interrupt numbers for devices is no longer true. In order to obtain the
+correct interrupt number, the child node which represents the device has
+to contain the interrupt property. Besides the interrupt property it has
+to contain at least the reg property containing the PCI bus address and
+compatible property according to "PCI Bus Binding Revision 2.1".
