+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * When accessing a memory region, depending on the its location, users may have
+ * to access it with I/O operations or memory load/store operations. For
+ * example, copying to system memory could be done with memcpy(), copying to I/O
+ * memory would be done with memcpy_toio().
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	void *vaddr = ...; // pointer to system memory
+ *	memcpy(vaddr, src, len);
+ *
+ *	void *vaddr_iomem = ...; // pointer to I/O memory
+ *	memcpy_toio(vaddr, _iomem, src, len);
+ *
+ * The user of such pointer may not have information about the mapping of that
+ * region or may want to have a single code path to handle operations on that
+ * buffer, regardless if it's located in system or IO memory. The type
+ * :c:type:`struct iosys_map <iosys_map>` and its helpers abstract that so the
+ * buffer can be passed around to other drivers or have separate duties inside
+ * the same driver for allocation, read and write operations.
+ *
+ * Open-coding access to :c:type:`struct iosys_map <iosys_map>` is considered
+ * bad style. Rather then accessing its fields directly, use one of the provided
+ * helper functions, or implement your own. For example, instances of
+ * :c:type:`struct iosys_map <iosys_map>` can be initialized statically with
+ * IOSYS_MAP_INIT_VADDR(), or at runtime with iosys_map_set_vaddr(). These
+ * helpers will set an address in system memory.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	struct iosys_map map = IOSYS_MAP_INIT_VADDR(0xdeadbeaf);
+ *
+ *	iosys_map_set_vaddr(&map, 0xdeadbeaf);
+ *
+ * To set an address in I/O memory, use iosys_map_set_vaddr_iomem().
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	iosys_map_set_vaddr_iomem(&map, 0xdeadbeaf);
+ *
+ * Instances of struct iosys_map do not have to be cleaned up, but
+ * can be cleared to NULL with iosys_map_clear(). Cleared mappings
+ * always refer to system memory.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	iosys_map_clear(&map);
+ *
+ * Test if a mapping is valid with either iosys_map_is_set() or
+ * iosys_map_is_null().
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	if (iosys_map_is_set(&map) != iosys_map_is_null(&map))
+ *		// always true
+ *
+ * Instances of :c:type:`struct iosys_map <iosys_map>` can be compared for
+ * equality with iosys_map_is_equal(). Mappings that point to different memory
+ * spaces, system or I/O, are never equal. That's even true if both spaces are
+ * located in the same address space, both mappings contain the same address
+ * value, or both mappings refer to NULL.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	struct iosys_map sys_map; // refers to system memory
+ *	struct iosys_map io_map; // refers to I/O memory
+ *
+ *	if (iosys_map_is_equal(&sys_map, &io_map))
+ *		// always false
+ *
+ * A set up instance of struct iosys_map can be used to access or manipulate the
+ * buffer memory. Depending on the location of the memory, the provided helpers
+ * will pick the correct operations. Data can be copied into the memory with
+ * iosys_map_memcpy_to(). The address can be manipulated with iosys_map_incr().
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	const void *src = ...; // source buffer
+ *	size_t len = ...; // length of src
+ *
+ *	iosys_map_memcpy_to(&map, src, len);
+ *	iosys_map_incr(&map, len); // go to first byte after the memcpy
