Subject: [PATCH 5/5] arch: x86: add visorbus directory to arch/x86

This patch adds the s-Par bus driver to the arch/x86 directory.
This location was chosen since the s-Par bus driver is dependent
on the x86 architecture.

Updates the KBuild and Kconfig files to include being able to
build it.

Signed-off-by: David Kershner <david.kershner@...sys.com>

+	tristate "Unisys visorbus driver"
+	depends on UNISYSSPAR
+	---help---
+	The visorbus driver is a virtualized bus for the Unisys s-Par firmware.
+	Virtualized devices allow Linux guests on a system to share disks and
+	network cards that do not have SR-IOV support, and to be accessed using
+	the partition desktop application. The visorbus driver is required to
+	discover devices on an s-Par guest, and must be present for any other
+	s-Par guest driver to function correctly.

+ *      name, version, owner, channel_types, probe, remove
+ *
+ *  Here's how the whole Linux bus / driver / device model works.
+ *
+ *  At system start-up, the visorbus kernel module is loaded, which registers
+ *  visorbus_type as a bus type, using bus_register().
+ *
+ *  All kernel modules that support particular device types on a
+ *  visorbus bus are loaded.  Each of these kernel modules calls
+ *  visorbus_register_visor_driver() in their init functions, passing a
+ *  visor_driver struct.  visorbus_register_visor_driver() in turn calls
+ *  register_driver(&visor_driver.driver).  This .driver member is
+ *  initialized with generic methods (like probe), whose sole responsibility
+ *  is to act as a broker for the real methods, which are within the
+ *  visor_driver struct.  (This is the way the subclass behavior is
+ *  implemented, since visor_driver is essentially a subclass of the
+ *  generic driver.)  Whenever a driver_register() happens, core bus code in
+ *  the kernel does (see device_attach() in drivers/base/dd.c):
+ *
+ *      for each dev associated with the bus (the bus that driver is on) that
+ *      does not yet have a driver
+ *          if bus.match(dev,newdriver) == yes_matched  ** .match specified
+ *                                                 ** during bus_register().
+ *              newdriver.probe(dev)  ** for visor drivers, this will call
+ *                    ** the generic driver.probe implemented in visorbus.c,
+ *                    ** which in turn calls the probe specified within the
+ *                    ** struct visor_driver (which was specified by the
+ *                    ** actual device driver as part of
+ *                    ** visorbus_register_visor_driver()).
+ *
+ *  The above dance also happens when a new device appears.
+ *  So the question is, how are devices created within the system?
+ *  Basically, just call device_add(dev).  See pci_bus_add_devices().
+ *  pci_scan_device() shows an example of how to build a device struct.  It
+ *  returns the newly-created struct to pci_scan_single_device(), who adds it
+ *  to the list of devices at PCIBUS.devices.  That list of devices is what
+ *  is traversed by pci_bus_add_devices().

-	tristate "Unisys visorbus driver"
-	depends on UNISYSSPAR
-	---help---
-	The visorbus driver is a virtualized bus for the Unisys s-Par firmware.
-	Virtualized devices allow Linux guests on a system to share disks and
-	network cards that do not have SR-IOV support, and to be accessed using
-	the partition desktop application. The visorbus driver is required to
-	discover devices on an s-Par guest, and must be present for any other
-	s-Par guest driver to function correctly.

- *     You must NOT own any locks that are needed by the periodic work
- *     function that is currently installed.  If you DO, a deadlock may result,
- *     because stopping the periodic work often involves waiting for the last

-/** A particular type of visor driver calls this function to register
- *  the driver.  The caller MUST fill in the following fields within the
- *  #drv structure:
- *      name, version, owner, channel_types, probe, remove
- *
- *  Here's how the whole Linux bus / driver / device model works.
- *
- *  At system start-up, the visorbus kernel module is loaded, which registers
- *  visorbus_type as a bus type, using bus_register().
- *
- *  All kernel modules that support particular device types on a
- *  visorbus bus are loaded.  Each of these kernel modules calls
- *  visorbus_register_visor_driver() in their init functions, passing a
- *  visor_driver struct.  visorbus_register_visor_driver() in turn calls
- *  register_driver(&visor_driver.driver).  This .driver member is
- *  initialized with generic methods (like probe), whose sole responsibility
- *  is to act as a broker for the real methods, which are within the
- *  visor_driver struct.  (This is the way the subclass behavior is
- *  implemented, since visor_driver is essentially a subclass of the
- *  generic driver.)  Whenever a driver_register() happens, core bus code in
- *  the kernel does (see device_attach() in drivers/base/dd.c):
- *
- *      for each dev associated with the bus (the bus that driver is on) that
- *      does not yet have a driver
- *          if bus.match(dev,newdriver) == yes_matched  ** .match specified
- *                                                 ** during bus_register().
- *              newdriver.probe(dev)  ** for visor drivers, this will call
- *                    ** the generic driver.probe implemented in visorbus.c,
- *                    ** which in turn calls the probe specified within the
- *                    ** struct visor_driver (which was specified by the
- *                    ** actual device driver as part of
- *                    ** visorbus_register_visor_driver()).
- *
- *  The above dance also happens when a new device appears.
- *  So the question is, how are devices created within the system?
- *  Basically, just call device_add(dev).  See pci_bus_add_devices().
- *  pci_scan_device() shows an example of how to build a device struct.  It
- *  returns the newly-created struct to pci_scan_single_device(), who adds it
- *  to the list of devices at PCIBUS.devices.  That list of devices is what
- *  is traversed by pci_bus_add_devices().
