Sarah Sharp 0ebbab3742 USB: xhci: Ring allocation and initialization.
Allocate basic xHCI host controller data structures.  For every xHC, there
is a command ring, an event ring, and a doorbell array.

The doorbell array is used to notify the host controller that work has
been enqueued onto one of the rings.  The host controller driver enqueues
commands on the command ring.  The HW enqueues command completion events
on the event ring and interrupts the system (currently using PCI
interrupts, although the xHCI HW will use MSI interrupts eventually).

All rings and the doorbell array must be allocated by the xHCI host
controller driver.

Each ring is comprised of one or more segments, which consists of 16-byte
Transfer Request Blocks (TRBs) that can be chained to form a Transfer
Descriptor (TD) that represents a multiple-buffer request.  Segments are
linked into a ring using Link TRBs, which means they are dynamically
growable.

The producer of the ring enqueues a TD by writing one or more TRBs in the
ring and toggling the TRB cycle bit for each TRB.  The consumer knows it
can process the TRB when the cycle bit matches its internal consumer cycle
state for the ring.  The consumer cycle state is toggled an odd amount of
times in the ring.

An example ring (a ring must have a minimum of 16 TRBs on it, but that's
too big to draw in ASCII art):

              chain  cycle

| TD A TRB 1 |  1  |  1  |<-------------  <-- consumer dequeue ptr

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
