+CE4100 I2C
+----------
+
+CE4100 has one PCI device which is described as the I2C-Controller. This
+PCI device has three PCI-bars, each bar contains a complete I2C
+controller. So we have a total of three independent I2C-Controllers
+which share only an interrupt line.
+The driver is probed via the PCI-ID and is gathering the information of
+attached devices from the devices tree.
+Grant Likely recommended to use the ranges property to map the PCI-Bar
+number to its physical address and to use this to find the child nodes
+of the specific I2C controller. This were his exact words:
+
+ Here's where the magic happens. Each entry in
+ ranges describes how the parent pci address space
+ (middle group of 3) is translated to the local
+ address space (first group of 2) and the size of
+ each range (last cell). In this particular case,
+ the first cell of the local address is chosen to be
+ 1:1 mapped to the BARs, and the second is the
+ offset from be base of the BAR (which would be
+ non-zero if you had 2 or more devices mapped off
+ the same BAR)
+
+ ranges allows the address mapping to be described
+ in a way that the OS can interpret without
+ requiring custom device driver code.
+
+This is an example which is used on FalconFalls:

+ /* as described by Grant, the first number in the group of

+ * followed by size of the mapping. The bar address
+ * requires also a valid translation in parents ranges

+CE4100 Device Tree Bindings
+---------------------------
+
+The CE4100 SoC uses for in core peripherals the following compatible
+format: <vendor>,<chip>-<device>.
+Many of the "generic" devices like HPET or IO APIC have the ce4100
+name in their compatible property because they first appeared in this
+SoC.
+
+The CPU node
+------------
+ cpu@0 {
+ device_type = "cpu";
+ compatible = "intel,ce4100";
+ reg = <0>;
+ lapic = <&lapic0>;
+ };
+
+The reg property describes the CPU number. The lapic property points to
+the local APIC timer.
+
+The SoC node
+------------
+
+This node describes the in-core peripherals. Required property:
+ compatible = "intel,ce4100-cp";
+
+The PCI node
+------------
+This node describes the PCI bus on the SoC. Its property should be
+ compatible = "intel,ce4100-pci", "pci";
+
+If the OS is using the IO-APIC for interrupt routing then the reported
+interrupt numbers for devices is no longer true. In order to obtain the
+correct interrupt number, the child node which represents the device has
+to contain the interrupt property. Besides the interrupt property it has
+to contain at least the reg property containing the PCI bus address and
+compatible property according to "PCI Bus Binding Revision 2.1".

NAME=FETCHARG : Set NAME as the argument name of FETCHARG.
FETCHARG:TYPE : Set TYPE as the type of FETCHARG. Currently, basic types
- (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64) and string are supported.
+ (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), "string" and bitfield
+ are supported.
(*) only for return probe.
(**) this is useful for fetching a field of data structures.
+Types
+-----
+Several types are supported for fetch-args. Kprobe tracer will access memory
+by given type. Prefix 's' and 'u' means those types are signed and unsigned
+respectively. Traced arguments are shown in decimal (signed) or hex (unsigned).
+String type is a special type, which fetches a "null-terminated" string from
+kernel space. This means it will fail and store NULL if the string container
+has been paged out.
+Bitfield is another special type, which takes 3 parameters, bit-width, bit-
+offset, and container-size (usually 32). The syntax is;
+
+ b<bit-width>@<bit-offset>/<container-size>
