| The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development |
| of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection |
| of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The |
| available subsections can be seen below. |

| |
| General information for driver authors |
| ====================================== |
| |
| This section contains documentation that should, at some point or other, be |
| of interest to most developers working on device drivers. |
