+ *
+ * RTE DMA (Direct Memory Access) device APIs.
+ *
+ * The generic DMA device diagram:
+ *
+ *            ------------     ------------
+ *            | HW-queue |     | HW-queue |
+ *            ------------     ------------
+ *                   \            /
+ *                    \          /
+ *                     \        /
+ *                  ----------------
+ *                  |dma-controller|
+ *                  ----------------
+ *
+ *   The DMA could have multiple HW-queues, each HW-queue could have multiple
+ *   capabilities, e.g. whether to support fill operation, supported DMA
+ *   transfter direction and etc.
+ *
+ * The DMA framework is built on the following abstraction model:
+ *
+ *     ------------    ------------
+ *     |virt-queue|    |virt-queue|
+ *     ------------    ------------
+ *            \           /
+ *             \         /
+ *              \       /
+ *            ------------     ------------
+ *            | HW-queue |     | HW-queue |
+ *            ------------     ------------
+ *                   \            /
+ *                    \          /
+ *                     \        /
+ *                     ----------
+ *                     | dmadev |
+ *                     ----------
+ *
+ *   a) The DMA operation request must be submitted to the virt queue, virt
+ *      queues must be created based on HW queues, the DMA device could have
+ *      multiple HW queues.
+ *   b) The virt queues on the same HW-queue could represent different contexts,
+ *      e.g. user could create virt-queue-0 on HW-queue-0 for mem-to-mem
+ *      transfer scenario, and create virt-queue-1 on the same HW-queue for
+ *      mem-to-dev transfer scenario.
+ *   NOTE: user could also create multiple virt queues for mem-to-mem transfer
+ *         scenario as long as the corresponding driver supports.
+ *
+ * The control plane APIs include configure/queue_setup/queue_release/start/
+ * stop/reset/close, in order to start device work, the call sequence must be
+ * as follows:
+ *     - rte_dmadev_configure()
+ *     - rte_dmadev_queue_setup()
+ *     - rte_dmadev_start()
+ *
+ * The dataplane APIs include two parts:
+ *   a) The first part is the submission of operation requests:
+ *        - rte_dmadev_copy()
+ *        - rte_dmadev_copy_sg() - scatter-gather form of copy
+ *        - rte_dmadev_fill()
+ *        - rte_dmadev_fill_sg() - scatter-gather form of fill
+ *        - rte_dmadev_fence()   - add a fence force ordering between operations
+ *        - rte_dmadev_perform() - issue doorbell to hardware
+ *      These APIs could work with different virt queues which have different
+ *      contexts.
+ *      The first four APIs are used to submit the operation request to the virt
+ *      queue, if the submission is successful, a cookie (as type
+ *      'dma_cookie_t') is returned, otherwise a negative number is returned.
+ *   b) The second part is to obtain the result of requests:
+ *        - rte_dmadev_completed()
+ *            - return the number of operation requests completed successfully.
+ *        - rte_dmadev_completed_fails()
+ *            - return the number of operation requests failed to complete.
+ *
+ * The misc APIs include info_get/queue_info_get/stats/xstats/selftest, provide
+ * information query and self-test capabilities.
+ *
+ * About the dataplane APIs MT-safe, there are two dimensions:
+ *   a) For one virt queue, the submit/completion API could be MT-safe,
+ *      e.g. one thread do submit operation, another thread do completion
+ *      operation.
+ *      If driver support it, then declare RTE_DMA_DEV_CAPA_MT_VQ.
+ *      If driver don't support it, it's up to the application to guarantee
+ *      MT-safe.
+ *   b) For multiple virt queues on the same HW queue, e.g. one thread do
+ *      operation on virt-queue-0, another thread do operation on virt-queue-1.
+ *      If driver support it, then declare RTE_DMA_DEV_CAPA_MT_MVQ.
+ *      If driver don't support it, it's up to the application to guarantee
+ *      MT-safe.

+ * When using cookies, comply with the following rules:
+ * a) Cookies for each virtual queue are independent.
+ * b) For a virt queue, the cookie are monotonically incremented, when it reach
+ *    the INT_MAX, it wraps back to zero.
+ * c) The initial cookie of a virt queue is zero, after the device is stopped or
+ *    reset, the virt queue's cookie needs to be reset to zero.
