The Freescale Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) is a set of
hardware components on specific QorIQ P and T series multicore processors.
This architecture provides the infrastructure to support simplified
sharing of networking interfaces and accelerators by multiple CPU cores,
and the accelerators themselves.

One of the DPAA accelerators is the Frame Manager (FMan), which
combines the Ethernet network interfaces with packet distribution
logic to provide intelligent distribution and queuing decisions for
incoming traffic at line rate.

This patch presents the FMan Foundation Libraries (FLIB) headers.
The FMan FLIB suite adds basic support for the DPAA FMan hardware register access.
The FMan FLIB suite is used in Freescale's SDK Releases.


Is this intended to merely enable your sdk? How are you planning to
add support for your classifiers, queue schedulers etc? Is that a patch
on top of this or it is something that sits on user space?

cheers,
jamal
