*
*   PACKAGE:     Linux tty Device Driver for IntelliPort family of multiport
*                serial I/O controllers.
*
*   DESCRIPTION: High-level interface code for the device driver. Uses the
*                Extremely Low Level Interface Support (i2ellis.c). Provides an
*                interface to the standard loadware, to support drivers or
*                application code. (This is included source code, not a separate
*                compilation module.)
*
*******************************************************************************/
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Note on Strategy:
// Once the board has been initialized, it will interrupt us when:
// 1) It has something in the fifo for us to read (incoming data, flow control
// packets, or whatever).
// 2) It has stripped whatever we have sent last time in the FIFO (and
// consequently is ready for more).
//
// Note also that the buffer sizes declared in i2lib.h are VERY SMALL. This
// worsens performance considerably, but is done so that a great many channels
// might use only a little memory.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Revision History:
//
// 0.00 -  4/16/91 --- First Draft
// 0.01 -  4/29/91 --- 1st beta release
// 0.02 -  6/14/91 --- Changes to allow small model compilation
// 0.03 -  6/17/91 MAG Break reporting protected from interrupts routines with
//                     in-line asm added for moving data to/from ring buffers,
//                     replacing a variety of methods used previously.
// 0.04 -  6/21/91 MAG Initial flow-control packets not queued until
//                     i2_enable_interrupts time. Former versions would enqueue
//                     them at i2_init_channel time, before we knew how many
//                     channels were supposed to exist!
// 0.05 - 10/12/91 MAG Major changes: works through the ellis.c routines now;
//                     supports new 16-bit protocol and expandable boards.
//      - 10/24/91 MAG Most changes in place and stable.
// 0.06 -  2/20/92 MAG Format of CMD_HOTACK corrected: the command takes no
//                     argument.
// 0.07 -- 3/11/92 MAG Support added to store special packet types at interrupt
//                     level (mostly responses to specific commands.)
// 0.08 -- 3/30/92 MAG Support added for STAT_MODEM packet
// 0.09 -- 6/24/93 MAG i2Link... needed to update number of boards BEFORE
//                     turning on the interrupt.
// 0.10 -- 6/25/93 MAG To avoid gruesome death from a bad board, we sanity check
//                     some incoming.
//
// 1.1  - 12/25/96 AKM Linux version.
//      - 10/09/98 DMC Revised Linux version.
