[Why] Scratch registers are limited on the DMCUB and we have an expanding list of state to track between driver and DMCUB. [How] Place shared state in cache window 6. The cache window size is aligned to the size of the cache line on the DMCUB to make it easy to invalidate. The shared state is intended to be read only from driver side so it's been marked as const. The use of volatile is intentional. The memory for the shared firmware state is memory mapped from the framebuffer memory. The DMCUB will flush its cache after modifying the region. There's no way for x86 to known whether this data is stale or not so we want to intentionally disable optimization to force the read at every access.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
