+==============================================================
+Linux kernel driver for Compute Engine Virtual Ethernet (gve):
+==============================================================
+
+Supported Hardware
+===================
+The GVE driver binds to a single PCI device id used by the virtual
+Ethernet device found in some Compute Engine VMs.

+PCI Bars
+========
+The gVNIC PCI device exposes three 32-bit memory BARS:
+- Bar0 - Device configuration and status registers.
+- Bar1 - MSI-X vector table
+- Bar2 - IRQ, RX and TX doorbells
+
+Device Interactions
+===================
+The driver interacts with the device in the following ways:
+ - Registers
+    - A block of MMIO registers
+    - See gve_register.h for more detail
+ - Admin Queue
+    - See description below
+ - Interrupts
+    - See supported interrupts below
+
+Registers
+---------
+All registers are MMIO and big endian.
+
+The registers are used for initializing and configuring the device as well as
+querying device status in response to management interrupts.
+
+Admin Queue (AQ)
+----------------
+The Admin Queue is a PAGE_SIZE memory block, treated as an array of AQ
+commands, used by the driver to issue commands to the device and set up
+resources.The driver and the device maintain a count of how many commands
+have been submitted and executed. To issue AQ commands, the driver must do
+the following (with proper locking):
+
+1)  Copy new commands into next available slots in the AQ array
+2)  Increment its counter by he number of new commands
+3)  Write the counter into the GVE_ADMIN_QUEUE_DOORBELL register
+4)  Poll the ADMIN_QUEUE_EVENT_COUNTER register until it equals
+    the value written to the doorbell, or until a timeout.
+
+The device will update the status field in each AQ command reported as
+executed through the ADMIN_QUEUE_EVENT_COUNTER register.
+
+Interrupts
+----------
+The following interrupts are supported by the driver:
+
+Management Interrupt
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The management interrupt is used by the device to tell the driver to
+look at the GVE_DEVICE_STATUS register.
+
+Notification Block Interrupts
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The notification block interrupts are used to tell the driver to poll
+the queues associated with that interrupt.
