+   <title>Introduction</title>
+  <para>
+    This document describes the interfaces available for device drivers that
+    drive s390 based channel attached devices. This includes interfaces for
+    interaction with the hardware and interfaces for interacting with the
+    common driver core. Those interfaces are provided by the s390 common I/O
+    layer.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    The document assumes a familarity with the technical terms associated
+    with the s390 channel I/O architecture. For a description of this
+    architecture, please refer to the "z/Architecture: Principles of
+    Operation", IBM publication no. SA22-7832.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    While most I/O devices on a s390 system are typically driven through the
+    channel I/O mechanism described here, there are various other methods
+    (like the diag interface). These are out of the scope of this document.
+  </para>

+    Some additional information can also be found in the kernel source
+    under Documentation/s390/driver-model.txt.

+  <chapter id="ccw">
+   <title>The ccw bus</title>
+  <para>
+	The ccw bus typically contains the majority of devices available to
+	a s390 system. Named after the channel command word (ccw), the basic
+	command structure used to address its devices, the ccw bus contains
+	so-called channel attached devices. They are addressed via subchannels,
+	visible on the css bus. A device driver, however, will never interact
+	with the subchannel directly, but only via the device on the ccw bus,
+	the ccw device.
+  </para>
+    <sect1 id="channelIO">
+     <title>I/O functions for channel-attached devices</title>
+    <para>
+      Some hardware structures have been translated into C structures for use
+      by the common I/O layer and device drivers. For more information on
+      the hardware structures represented here, please consult the Principles
+      of Operation.
+    </para>

+    <sect1 id="ccwdev">
+     <title>ccw devices</title>
+    <para>
+      Devices that want to initiate channel I/O need to attach to the ccw bus.
+      Interaction with the driver core is done via the common I/O layer, which
+      provides the abstractions of ccw devices and ccw device drivers.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      The functions that initiate or terminate channel I/O all act upon a
+      ccw device structure. Device drivers must not bypass those functions
+      or strange side effects may happen.

+	The channel-measurement facility provides a means to collect
+	measurement data which is made available by the channel subsystem
+	for each channel attached device.

+   <title>The ccwgroup bus</title>
+  <para>
+	The ccwgroup bus only contains artificial devices, created by the user.
+	Many networking devices (e.g. qeth) are in fact composed of several
+	ccw devices (like read, write and data channel for qeth). The
+	ccwgroup bus provides a mechanism to create a meta-device which
+	contains those ccw devices as slave devices and can be associated
+	with the netdevice.
