+/*************** DMA-QUEUE-GENERAL-FUNCTIONS  *****
+ * DMA services
+ *
+ * Theory of operation
+ *
+ * A Tx or Rx queue resides in host DRAM, and is comprised of a circular buffer
+ * of buffer descriptors, each of which points to one or more data buffers for
+ * the device to read from or fill.  Driver and device exchange status of each
+ * queue via "read" and "write" pointers.  Driver keeps minimum of 2 empty
+ * entries in each circular buffer, to protect against confusing empty and full
+ * queue states.
+ *
+ * The device reads or writes the data in the queues via the device's several
+ * DMA/FIFO channels.  Each queue is mapped to a single DMA channel.
+ *
+ * For Tx queue, there are low mark and high mark limits. If, after queuing
+ * the packet for Tx, free space become < low mark, Tx queue stopped. When
+ * reclaiming packets (on 'tx done IRQ), if free space become > high mark,
+ * Tx queue resumed.
