+What:		/sys/dev
+Date:		April 2008
+KernelVersion:	2.6.26
+Contact:	Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
+Description:	The /sys/dev tree provides a method to look up the sysfs
+		path for a device using the information returned from
+		stat(2).  There are two directories, 'block' and 'char',
+		beneath /sys/dev containing symbolic links with names of
+		the form "<major>:<minor>".  These links point to the
+		corresponding sysfs path for the given device.
+
+		Example:
+		$ readlink /sys/dev/block/8:32
+		../../block/sdc
+
+		Entries in /sys/dev/char and /sys/dev/block will be
+		dynamically created and destroyed as devices enter and
+		leave the system.

+	<para>
+	For some hardware that has more than one interrupt source internally,
+	but not separate IRQ mask and status registers, there might be
+	situations where userspace cannot determine what the interrupt source
+	was if the kernel handler disables them by writing to the chip's IRQ
+	register. In such a case, the kernel has to disable the IRQ completely
+	to leave the chip's register untouched. Now the userspace part can
+	determine the cause of the interrupt, but it cannot re-enable
+	interrupts. Another cornercase is chips where re-enabling interrupts
+	is a read-modify-write operation to a combined IRQ status/acknowledge
+	register. This would be racy if a new interrupt occurred
+	simultaneously.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	To address these problems, UIO also implements a write() function. It
+	is normally not used and can be ignored for hardware that has only a
+	single interrupt source or has separate IRQ mask and status registers.
+	If you need it, however, a write to <filename>/dev/uioX</filename>
+	will call the <function>irqcontrol()</function> function implemented
+	by the driver. You have to write a 32-bit value that is usually either
+	0 or 1 to disable or enable interrupts. If a driver does not implement
+	<function>irqcontrol()</function>, <function>write()</function> will
