Add subsections in an attempt to bring a bit order to this page; also sort most subsections into alphabetical order. With luck all this will help to prevent merge conflicts on this page due to everybody adding entries at the end.

Driver implementer's API guide
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
|
|
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
|
|
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
|
|
available subsections can be seen below.

General information for driver authors
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
This section contains documentation that should, at some point or other, be
|
|
of interest to most developers working on device drivers.
