+ * parman_create - creates a new parman instance
+ * @ops:	caller-specific callbacks
+ * @priv:	pointer to a private data passed to the ops
+ *
+ * Note: all locking must be provided by the caller.
+ *
+ * Each parman instance manages an array area with chunks of entries
+ * with the same priority. Consider following example:
+ *
+ * item 1 with prio 10
+ * item 2 with prio 10
+ * item 3 with prio 10
+ * item 4 with prio 20
+ * item 5 with prio 20
+ * item 6 with prio 30
+ * item 7 with prio 30
+ * item 8 with prio 30
+ *
+ * In this example, there are 3 priority chunks. The order of the priorities
+ * matters, however the order of items within a single priority chunk does not
+ * matter. So the same array could be ordered as follows:
+ *
+ * item 2 with prio 10
+ * item 3 with prio 10
+ * item 1 with prio 10
+ * item 5 with prio 20
+ * item 4 with prio 20
+ * item 7 with prio 30
+ * item 8 with prio 30
+ * item 6 with prio 30
+ *
+ * The goal of parman is to maintain the priority ordering. The caller
+ * provides @ops with callbacks parman uses to move the items
+ * and resize the array area.
+ *
+ * Returns a pointer to newly created parman instance in case of success,
+ * otherwise it returns NULL.
