+ * intel_guc:
+ * Top level structure of guc. It handles firmware loading and manages client
+ * pool and doorbells. intel_guc owns a i915_guc_client to replace the legacy
+ * ExecList submission.
+ *
+ * Firmware versioning:
+ * The firmware build process will generate a version header file with major and
+ * minor version defined. The versions are built into CSS header of firmware.
+ * i915 kernel driver set the minimal firmware version required per platform.
+ * The firmware installation package will install (symbolic link) proper version
+ * of firmware.
+ *
+ * GuC address space:
+ * GuC does not allow any gfx GGTT address that falls into range [0, WOPCM_TOP),
+ * which is reserved for Boot ROM, SRAM and WOPCM. Currently this top address is
+ * 512K. In order to exclude 0-512K address space from GGTT, all gfx objects
+ * used by GuC is pinned with PIN_OFFSET_BIAS along with size of WOPCM.
+ *
+ * Firmware log:
+ * Firmware log is enabled by setting i915.guc_log_level to non-negative level.
+ * Log data is printed out via reading debugfs i915_guc_log_dump. Reading from
+ * i915_guc_load_status will print out firmware loading status and scratch
+ * registers value.
