+<?dbhtml filename="uio_pci_generic.html"?>
+<title>Generic PCI UIO driver</title>
+	<para>
+	The generic driver is a kernel module named uio_pci_generic.
+	It can work with any device compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and
+	any compliant PCI Express device. Using this, you only need to
+        write the userspace driver, removing the need to write
+        a hardware-specific kernel module.
+	</para>
+
+<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_binding">
+<title>Making the driver recognize the device</title>
+	<para>
+Since the driver does not declare any device ids, it will not get loaded
+automatically and will not automatically bind to any devices, you must load it
+and allocate id to the driver yourself. For example:
+	<programlisting>
+ modprobe uio_pci_generic
+ echo &quot;8086 10f5&quot; &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/new_id
+	</programlisting>
+	</para>
+	<para>
+If there already is a hardware specific kernel driver for your device, the
+generic driver still won't bind to it, in this case if you want to use the
+generic driver (why would you?) you'll have to manually unbind the hardware
+specific driver and bind the generic driver, like this:
+	<programlisting>
+    echo -n 0000:00:19.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/unbind
+    echo -n 0000:00:19.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/bind
+	</programlisting>
+	</para>
+	<para>
+You can verify that the device has been bound to the driver
+by looking for it in sysfs, for example like the following:
+	<programlisting>
+    ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/driver
+	</programlisting>
+Which if successful should print
+	<programlisting>
+  .../0000:00:19.0/driver -&gt; ../../../bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic
+	</programlisting>
+Note that the generic driver will not bind to old PCI 2.2 devices.
+If binding the device failed, run the following command:
+	<programlisting>
+  dmesg
+	</programlisting>
+and look in the output for failure reasons
+	</para>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_internals">
+<title>Things to know about uio_pci_generic</title>
+	<para>
+Interrupts are handled using the Interrupt Disable bit in the PCI command
+register and Interrupt Status bit in the PCI status register.  All devices
+compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and all compliant PCI Express devices should
+support these bits.  uio_pci_generic detects this support, and won't bind to
+devices which do not support the Interrupt Disable Bit in the command register.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+On each interrupt, uio_pci_generic sets the Interrupt Disable bit.
+This prevents the device from generating further interrupts
+until the bit is cleared. The userspace driver should clear this
+bit before blocking and waiting for more interrupts.
+	</para>
+</sect1>
+<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_userspace">
+<title>Writing userspace driver using uio_pci_generic</title>
+	<para>
+Userspace driver can use pci sysfs interface, or the
+libpci libray that wraps it, to talk to the device and to
+re-enable interrupts by writing to the command register.
