+RapidIO Subsystem Guide
+=======================
+
+:Author: Matt Porter
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+RapidIO is a high speed switched fabric interconnect with features aimed
+at the embedded market. RapidIO provides support for memory-mapped I/O
+as well as message-based transactions over the switched fabric network.
+RapidIO has a standardized discovery mechanism not unlike the PCI bus
+standard that allows simple detection of devices in a network.
+
+This documentation is provided for developers intending to support
+RapidIO on new architectures, write new drivers, or to understand the
+subsystem internals.
+
+Known Bugs and Limitations
+==========================
+
+Bugs
+----
+
+None. ;)
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+1. Access/management of RapidIO memory regions is not supported
+
+2. Multiple host enumeration is not supported
+
+RapidIO driver interface
+========================
+
+Drivers are provided a set of calls in order to interface with the
+subsystem to gather info on devices, request/map memory region
+resources, and manage mailboxes/doorbells.
