+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * A graphics device might be supported by different drivers, but only one
+ * driver can be active at any given time. Many systems load a generic
+ * graphics drivers, such as EFI-GOP or VESA, early during the boot process.
+ * During later boot stages, they replace the generic driver with a dedicated,
+ * hardware-specific driver. To take over the device the dedicated driver
+ * first has to remove the generic driver. DRM aperture functions manage
+ * ownership of DRM framebuffer memory and hand-over between drivers.
+ *
+ * DRM drivers should call drm_aperture_remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
+ * at the top of their probe function. The function removes any generic
+ * driver that is currently associated with the given framebuffer memory.
+ * If the framebuffer is located at PCI BAR 0, the rsp code looks as in the
+ * example given below.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ * static int remove_conflicting_framebuffers(struct pci_dev *pdev)
+ * {
+ * bool primary = false;
+ * resource_size_t base, size;
+ * int ret;
+ *
+ * base = pci_resource_start(pdev, 0);
+ * size = pci_resource_len(pdev, 0);
+ * #ifdef CONFIG_X86
+ * primary = pdev->resource[PCI_ROM_RESOURCE].flags & IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW;
+ * #endif
+ *
+ * return drm_aperture_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(base, size, primary,
+ * "example driver");
+ * }
+ *
+ * static int probe(struct pci_dev *pdev)
+ * {
+ * int ret;
+ *
+ * // Remove any generic drivers...
+ * ret = remove_conflicting_framebuffers(pdev);
+ * if (ret)
+ * return ret;
+ *
+ * // ... and initialize the hardware.
+ * ...
+ *
+ * drm_dev_register();
+ *
+ * return 0;
+ * }
+ *
+ * PCI device drivers should call
+ * drm_aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers() and let it detect the
+ * framebuffer apertures automatically. Device drivers without knowledge of
+ * the framebuffer's location shall call drm_aperture_remove_framebuffers(),
+ * which removes all drivers for known framebuffer.
