One TX endpoint (per EE) is used for issuing immediate commands to the IPA. These commands request activites beyond simple data transfers to be done by the IPA hardware. For example, the IPA is able to manage routing packets among endpoints, and immediate commands are used to configure tables used for that routing. Immediate commands are built on top of GSI transactions. They are different from normal transfers (in that they use a special endpoint, and their "payload" is interpreted differently), so separate functions are used to issue immediate command transactions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
