High Priority (we would need it for IPE Camera)

=============

 1. DMA without ring buffer, just send data in the newly configured buffers while there is the space...

    * We need a way to add (remove?) pages into the same use. Some times in the middle of existing pages, i.e. tructuring seems complicated.

    * vmsplice them out trough the device?

 2. Allow DMA into the user pages

    * Dangerous as hardware accessed memory is only valid during life-time of one application. Instead the kernel pages can be re-assembled as big buffer using vmmngr_map_page (?)

 3. Use huge-pages + dynamicaly configure DMA page size

 4. DirectGMA/GPUDirect support

 5. High-speed interface to Infiniband

Normal Priority (it would make just few things a bit easier)

===============

 1. Integrate base streaming model into the pcitool

 2. Implement pcilib_configure_autotrigger

 3. Really check the specified min, max values while setting registers

 4. Provide OR and AND operations on registers in cli

 5. Support writting a data from a binary file in cli

Low Priority (only as generalization for other projects)

============

 1. We managed kmem performance using next kmem prediction, but it is still wise to provide additionally a binary tree for faster search

 2. Support for Network Registers and Network DMA

 3. Define a syntax for register dependencies / delays (?)

 4. Use pthread_condition_t instead of polling

 5. Support FIFO reads/writes from/to registers

 6. OPC UA interface to the registers

 7. Generate XML models from SystemRDL descriptions

Performance

===========

 1. Even with fully algined data, glibc defaults to __memcpy_sse2_unaligned (called from ipecamera_data_callback and fastwriter_push). Can we do something?
