+Description:
+		Some servers used internally at Google have firmware
+		that provides callback functionality via explicit SMI
+		triggers.  Some of the callbacks are similar to those
+		provided by the EFI runtime services page, but due to
+		historical reasons this different entry-point has been
+		used.
+
+		The gsmi driver implements the kernel's abstraction for
+		these firmware callbacks.  Currently, this functionality
+		is limited to handling the system event log and getting
+		access to EFI-style variables stored in nvram.
+
+		Layout:
+
+		/sys/firmware/gsmi/vars:
+
+			This directory has the same layout (and
+			underlying implementation as /sys/firmware/efi/vars.
+			See Documentation/ABI/*/sysfs-firmware-efi-vars
+			for more information on how to interact with
+			this structure.
+
+		/sys/firmware/gsmi/append_to_eventlog - write-only:
+
+			This file takes a binary blob and passes it onto
+			the firmware to be timestamped and appended to
+			the system eventlog.  The binary format is
+			interpreted by the firmware and may change from
+			platform to platform.  The only kernel-enforced
+			requirement is that the blob be prefixed with a
+			32bit host-endian type used as part of the
+			firmware call.
+
+		/sys/firmware/gsmi/clear_config - write-only:
+
+			Writing any value to this file will cause the
+			entire firmware configuration to be reset to
+			"factory defaults".  Callers should assume that
+			a reboot is required for the configuration to be
+			cleared.
+
+		/sys/firmware/gsmi/clear_eventlog - write-only:
+
+			This file is used to clear out a portion/the
+			whole of the system event log.  Values written
+			should be values between 1 and 100 inclusive (in
+			ASCII) representing the fraction of the log to
+			clear.  Not all platforms support fractional
+			clearing though, and this writes to this file
+			will error out if the firmware doesn't like your
+			submitted fraction.
+
+			Callers should assume that a reboot is needed
+			for this operation to complete.

-Fields 
-~~~~~~
-g_list:	Node in the global device list.
-
-node:	Node in device's parent's children list.
-
-bus_list: Node in device's bus's devices list.
-
-driver_list:   Node in device's driver's devices list.
-
-intf_list:     List of intf_data. There is one structure allocated for
-	       each interface that the device supports.
-
-children:      List of child devices.
-
-parent:        *** FIXME ***
-
-name:	       ASCII description of device. 
-	       Example: " 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang]"
-
-bus_id:	       ASCII representation of device's bus position. This 
-	       field should be a name unique across all devices on the
-	       bus type the device belongs to. 
-
-	       Example: PCI bus_ids are in the form of
-	       <bus number>:<slot number>.<function number> 
-	       This name is unique across all PCI devices in the system.
-
-lock:	       Spinlock for the device. 
-
-refcount:      Reference count on the device.
-
-bus:	       Pointer to struct bus_type that device belongs to.
-
-dir:	       Device's sysfs directory.
-
-class_num:     Class-enumerated value of the device.
-
-driver:	       Pointer to struct device_driver that controls the device.
-
-driver_data:   Driver-specific data.
-
-platform_data: Platform data specific to the device.
-
-	       Example:  for devices on custom boards, as typical of embedded
-	       and SOC based hardware, Linux often uses platform_data to point
-	       to board-specific structures describing devices and how they
-	       are wired.  That can include what ports are available, chip
-	       variants, which GPIO pins act in what additional roles, and so
-	       on.  This shrinks the "Board Support Packages" (BSPs) and
-	       minimizes board-specific #ifdefs in drivers.
-
-current_state: Current power state of the device.
-
-saved_state:   Pointer to saved state of the device. This is usable by
-	       the device driver controlling the device.
-
-release:       Callback to free the device after all references have 
-	       gone away. This should be set by the allocator of the 
-	       device (i.e. the bus driver that discovered the device).

+それぞれのカーネルサブシステムのメンテナ達は --- そして多くのカーネル
+サブシステムの開発者達も --- 各自の最新の開発状況をソースリポジトリに
+公開しています。そのため、自分とは異なる領域のカーネルで何が起きている
+かを他の人が見られるようになっています。開発が早く進んでいる領域では、
+開発者は自身の投稿がどのサブシステムカーネルツリーを元にしているか質問
+されるので、その投稿とすでに進行中の他の作業との衝突が避けられます。
+
+大部分のこれらのリポジトリは git ツリーです。しかしその他の SCM や
+quilt シリーズとして公開されているパッチキューも使われています。これら
+のサブシステムリポジトリのアドレスは MAINTAINERS ファイルにリストされ
+ています。これらの多くは http://git.kernel.org/ で参照することができま
+す。
 
-  その他のカーネルツリーは http://git.kernel.org/ と MAINTAINERS ファ
-  イルに一覧表があります。
+提案されたパッチがこのようなサブシステムツリーにコミットされる前に、メー
+リングリストで事前にレビューにかけられます(以下の対応するセクションを
+参照)。いくつかのカーネルサブシステムでは、このレビューは patchwork
+というツールによって追跡されます。Patchwork は web インターフェイスに
+よってパッチ投稿の表示、パッチへのコメント付けや改訂などができ、そして
+メンテナはパッチに対して、レビュー中、受付済み、拒否というようなマーク
+をつけることができます。大部分のこれらの patchwork のサイトは
+http://patchwork.kernel.org/ でリストされています。
+
+統合テストのための 2.6.x -next カーネルツリー
+---------------------------------------------
+
+サブシステムツリーの更新内容がメインラインの 2.6.x ツリーにマージされ
+る前に、それらは統合テストされる必要があります。この目的のため、実質的
+に全サブシステムツリーからほぼ毎日プルされてできる特別なテスト用のリ
+ポジトリが存在します-
+       http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git
+       http://linux.f-seidel.de/linux-next/pmwiki/
+
+このやり方によって、-next カーネルは次のマージ機会でどんなものがメイン
+ラインカーネルにマージされるか、おおまかなの展望を提供します。-next 
+カーネルの実行テストを行う冒険好きなテスターは大いに歓迎されます

+/**
+ * struct device - The basic device structure
+ * @parent:	The device's "parent" device, the device to which it is attached.
+ * 		In most cases, a parent device is some sort of bus or host
+ * 		controller. If parent is NULL, the device, is a top-level device,
+ * 		which is not usually what you want.
+ * @p:		Holds the private data of the driver core portions of the device.
+ * 		See the comment of the struct device_private for detail.
+ * @kobj:	A top-level, abstract class from which other classes are derived.
+ * @init_name:	Initial name of the device.
+ * @type:	The type of device.
+ * 		This identifies the device type and carries type-specific
+ * 		information.
+ * @mutex:	Mutex to synchronize calls to its driver.
+ * @bus:	Type of bus device is on.
+ * @driver:	Which driver has allocated this
+ * @platform_data: Platform data specific to the device.
+ * 		Example: For devices on custom boards, as typical of embedded
+ * 		and SOC based hardware, Linux often uses platform_data to point
+ * 		to board-specific structures describing devices and how they
+ * 		are wired.  That can include what ports are available, chip
+ * 		variants, which GPIO pins act in what additional roles, and so
+ * 		on.  This shrinks the "Board Support Packages" (BSPs) and
+ * 		minimizes board-specific #ifdefs in drivers.
+ * @power:	For device power management.
+ * 		See Documentation/power/devices.txt for details.
+ * @pwr_domain:	Provide callbacks that are executed during system suspend,
+ * 		hibernation, system resume and during runtime PM transitions
+ * 		along with subsystem-level and driver-level callbacks.
+ * @numa_node:	NUMA node this device is close to.
+ * @dma_mask:	Dma mask (if dma'ble device).
+ * @coherent_dma_mask: Like dma_mask, but for alloc_coherent mapping as not all
+ * 		hardware supports 64-bit addresses for consistent allocations
+ * 		such descriptors.
+ * @dma_parms:	A low level driver may set these to teach IOMMU code about
+ * 		segment limitations.
+ * @dma_pools:	Dma pools (if dma'ble device).
+ * @dma_mem:	Internal for coherent mem override.
+ * @archdata:	For arch-specific additions.
+ * @of_node:	Associated device tree node.
+ * @of_match:	Matching of_device_id from driver.
+ * @devt:	For creating the sysfs "dev".
+ * @devres_lock: Spinlock to protect the resource of the device.
+ * @devres_head: The resources list of the device.
+ * @knode_class: The node used to add the device to the class list.
+ * @class:	The class of the device.
+ * @groups:	Optional attribute groups.
+ * @release:	Callback to free the device after all references have
+ * 		gone away. This should be set by the allocator of the
+ * 		device (i.e. the bus driver that discovered the device).
+ *
+ * At the lowest level, every device in a Linux system is represented by an
+ * instance of struct device. The device structure contains the information
+ * that the device model core needs to model the system. Most subsystems,
+ * however, track additional information about the devices they host. As a
+ * result, it is rare for devices to be represented by bare device structures;
+ * instead, that structure, like kobject structures, is usually embedded within
+ * a higher-level representation of the device.
