We can remove the i2o documentation because a) the subsystem has been
moved to staging with commit 2cbf7fe2d5d32a (i2o: move to staging)
anyhow and b) the here removed files are present in the subsystem
directory again. There, README even has an additional paragraph and the
ioctl docs only differ in whitespaces. Well...

And it also makes tab-completion for i2c easier \o/

-Linux I2O User Space Interface
-rev 0.3 - 04/20/99
-
-=============================================================================
-Originally written by Deepak Saxena(deepak@xxxxxxxxxxx)
-Currently maintained by Deepak Saxena(deepak@xxxxxxxxxxx)
-=============================================================================
-
-I. Introduction
-
-The Linux I2O subsystem provides a set of ioctl() commands that can be
-utilized by user space applications to communicate with IOPs and devices
-on individual IOPs. This document defines the specific ioctl() commands
-that are available to the user and provides examples of their uses.
-
-This document assumes the reader is familiar with or has access to the
-I2O specification as no I2O message parameters are outlined. For information
-on the specification, see http://www.i2osig.org
-
-This document and the I2O user space interface are currently maintained
-by Deepak Saxena. Please send all comments, errata, and bug fixes to
-deepak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
-II. IOP Access
-
-Access to the I2O subsystem is provided through the device file named
-/dev/i2o/ctl. This file is a character file with major number 10 and minor
-number 166. It can be created through the following command:
-
- mknod /dev/i2o/ctl c 10 166
-
-III. Determining the IOP Count
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- ioctl(fd, I2OGETIOPS, int *count);
-
- u8 count[MAX_I2O_CONTROLLERS];
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- This function returns the system's active IOP table. count should
- point to a buffer containing MAX_I2O_CONTROLLERS entries. Upon
- returning, each entry will contain a non-zero value if the given
- IOP unit is active, and NULL if it is inactive or non-existent.
-
- RETURN VALUE.
-
- Returns 0 if no errors occur, and -1 otherwise. If an error occurs,
- errno is set appropriately:
-
- EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed
-
-IV. Getting Hardware Resource Table
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- ioctl(fd, I2OHRTGET, struct i2o_cmd_hrt *hrt);
-
- struct i2o_cmd_hrtlct
- {
- u32 iop; /* IOP unit number */
- void *resbuf; /* Buffer for result */
- u32 *reslen; /* Buffer length in bytes */
- };
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- This function returns the Hardware Resource Table of the IOP specified
- by hrt->iop in the buffer pointed to by hrt->resbuf. The actual size of
- the data is written into *(hrt->reslen).
-
- RETURNS
-
- This function returns 0 if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1
- is returned and errno is set appropriately:
-
- EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed
- ENXIO Invalid IOP number
- ENOBUFS Buffer not large enough. If this occurs, the required
- buffer length is written into *(hrt->reslen)
-
-V. Getting Logical Configuration Table
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- ioctl(fd, I2OLCTGET, struct i2o_cmd_lct *lct);
-
- struct i2o_cmd_hrtlct
- {
- u32 iop; /* IOP unit number */
- void *resbuf; /* Buffer for result */
- u32 *reslen; /* Buffer length in bytes */
- };
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- This function returns the Logical Configuration Table of the IOP specified
- by lct->iop in the buffer pointed to by lct->resbuf. The actual size of
- the data is written into *(lct->reslen).
-
- RETURNS
-
- This function returns 0 if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1
- is returned and errno is set appropriately:
-
- EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed
- ENXIO Invalid IOP number
- ENOBUFS Buffer not large enough. If this occurs, the required
- buffer length is written into *(lct->reslen)
-
-VI. Setting Parameters
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- ioctl(fd, I2OPARMSET, struct i2o_parm_setget *ops);
-
- struct i2o_cmd_psetget
- {
- u32 iop; /* IOP unit number */
- u32 tid; /* Target device TID */
- void *opbuf; /* Operation List buffer */
- u32 oplen; /* Operation List buffer length in bytes */
- void *resbuf; /* Result List buffer */
- u32 *reslen; /* Result List buffer length in bytes */
- };
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- This function posts a UtilParamsSet message to the device identified
- by ops->iop and ops->tid. The operation list for the message is
- sent through the ops->opbuf buffer, and the result list is written
- into the buffer pointed to by ops->resbuf. The number of bytes
- written is placed into *(ops->reslen).
-
- RETURNS
-
- The return value is the size in bytes of the data written into
- ops->resbuf if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1 is returned
- and errno is set appropriately:
-
- EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed
- ENXIO Invalid IOP number
- ENOBUFS Buffer not large enough. If this occurs, the required
- buffer length is written into *(ops->reslen)
- ETIMEDOUT Timeout waiting for reply message
- ENOMEM Kernel memory allocation error
-
- A return value of 0 does not mean that the value was actually
- changed properly on the IOP. The user should check the result
- list to determine the specific status of the transaction.
-

- user is responsible for allocating memory pointed by sw->buf. The
- last fragment _may_ be shorter.
-
- Please note that SW transfers can take a long time.
-
- RETURNS
-
- This function returns 0 if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1
- is returned and errno is set appropriately:

- u32 iop;
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- This function posts an ExecConfigValidate message to the controller
- identified by iop. This message indicates that the current
- configuration is accepted. The iop changes the status of suspect drivers
- to valid and may delete old drivers from its store.
-
- RETURNS
-
- This function returns 0 if no erro occur. If an error occurs, -1 is
- returned and errno is set appropriately:

-
-XI. Configuration Dialog
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- ioctl(fd, I2OHTML, struct i2o_html *htquery);
- struct i2o_html
- {
- u32 iop; /* IOP unit number */
- u32 tid; /* Target device ID */

- };
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- This function posts an UtilConfigDialog message to the device identified
- by htquery->iop and htquery->tid. The requested HTML page number is
- provided by the htquery->page field, and the resultant data is stored
- in the buffer pointed to by htquery->resbuf. If there is an HTTP query
- string that is to be sent to the device, it should be sent in the buffer
- pointed to by htquery->qbuf. If there is no query string, this field
- should be set to NULL. The actual size of the reply received is written
- into *(htquery->reslen).
-
- RETURNS
-
- This function returns 0 if no error occur. If an error occurs, -1
- is returned and errno is set appropriately:
-
- EFAULT Invalid user space pointer was passed
- ENXIO Invalid IOP number
- ENOBUFS Buffer not large enough. If this occurs, the required
- buffer length is written into *(ops->reslen)
- ETIMEDOUT Timeout waiting for reply message
- ENOMEM Kernel memory allocation error
-
-XII. Events
-
- In the process of determining this. Current idea is to have use
- the select() interface to allow user apps to periodically poll
- the /dev/i2o/ctl device for events. When select() notifies the user
- that an event is available, the user would call read() to retrieve
- a list of all the events that are pending for the specific device.
