The Generic Software Interface is a layer of the IPA driver that
abstracts the underlying hardware. The next patch includes the
main code for GSI (including some additional documentation). This
patch just includes three GSI header files.
- "gsi.h" is the top-level GSI header file. This structure is
is embedded within the IPA structure. The main abstraction
implemented by the GSI code is the channel, and this header
exposes several operations that can be performed on a GSI channel.
- "gsi_private.h" exposes some definitions that are intended to be
private, used only by the main GSI code and the GSI transaction
code (defined in an upcoming patch).
- Like "ipa_reg.h", "gsi_reg.h" defines the offsets of the 32-bit
registers used by the GSI layer, along with masks that define the
position and width of fields less than 32 bits located within
these registers.

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.
