Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 03/14] dibs: Create drivers/dibs
Create the file structure for a 'DIBS - Direct Internal Buffer Sharing'
shim layer that will provide generic functionality and declarations for
dibs device drivers and dibs clients.
Following patches will add functionality.

+ Direct Internal Buffer Sharing (DIBS)
+ A communication method that uses common physical (internal) memory

+ Select this option to provide the abstraction layer between

+ The module name is dibs.

+/* DIBS - Direct Internal Buffer Sharing - concept
+ * -----------------------------------------------
+ * In the case of multiple system sharing the same hardware, dibs fabrics can
+ * provide dibs devices to these systems. The systems use dibs devices of the
+ * same fabric to communicate via dmbs (Direct Memory Buffers). Each dmb has
+ * exactly one owning local dibs device and one remote using dibs device, that
+ * is authorized to write into this dmb. This access control is provided by the
+ * dibs fabric.
+ *
+ * Because the access to the dmb is based on access to physical memory, it is
+ * lossless and synchronous. The remote devices can directly access any offset
+ * of the dmb.
+ *
+ * Dibs fabrics, dibs devices and dmbs are identified by tokens and ids.
+ * Dibs fabric id is unique within the same hardware (with the exception of the
+ * dibs loopback fabric), dmb token is unique within the same fabric, dibs
+ * device gids are guaranteed to be unique within the same fabric and
+ * statistically likely to be globally unique. The exchange of these tokens and
+ * ids between the systems is not part of the dibs concept.
+ *
+ * The dibs layer provides an abstraction between dibs device drivers and dibs
+ * clients.
