-	  The channel device layer is a layer to provide a consistent
-	  interface for configuration & default machine check (devices
-	  appearing & disappearing) handling on Linux for s/390 & z/Series
-	  channel devices.
-
-	  s/390 & z/Series channel devices include among others
-
-	  lcs (the most common ethernet/token ring/fddi standard on
-	  zSeries)
-	  ctc/escon hi speed like serial link standard on zSeries
-	  claw used to talk to cisco routers.
-	  qeth gigabit ethernet.
-
-	  These devices use two channels one read & one write for
-	  configuration & communication (& a third channel, the data
-	  channel the case of gigabit ethernet). The motivation
-	  behind developing this layer was that there was a lot of
-	  duplicate code among the channel device drivers for
-	  configuration.
-
-	  Also the lcs & ctc drivers tended to fight over
-	  3088/08's & 3088/1F's which could be either 2216/3172
-	  channel attached lcs compatible devices or escon/ctc pipes
-	  had to be configured separately as they couldn't autodetect,
-	  this is now simplified by doing the configuration in a single
-	  place (the channel device layer).
-
-	  This layer isn't invasive & it is quite okay to use channel
-	  drivers which don't use the channel device layer in
-	  conjunction with drivers which do.
-
-	  For more info see the chandev manpage usually distributed in
-	  <file:Documentation/s390/chandev.8> in the Linux source tree.
