/* DIBS - Direct Internal Buffer Sharing - concept
 * -----------------------------------------------
 * In the case of multiple system sharing the same hardware, dibs fabrics can
 * provide dibs devices to these systems. The systems use dibs devices of the
 * same fabric to communicate via dmbs (Direct Memory Buffers). Each dmb has
 * exactly one owning local dibs device and one remote using dibs device, that
 * is authorized to write into this dmb. This access control is provided by the
 * dibs fabric.
 *
 * Because the access to the dmb is based on access to physical memory, it is
 * lossless and synchronous. The remote devices can directly access any offset
 * of the dmb.
 *
 * Dibs fabrics, dibs devices and dmbs are identified by tokens and ids.
 * Dibs fabric id is unique within the same hardware (with the exception of the
 * dibs loopback fabric), dmb token is unique within the same fabric, dibs
 * device gids are guaranteed to be unique within the same fabric and
 * statistically likely to be globally unique. The exchange of these tokens and
 * ids between the systems is not part of the dibs concept.
 *
 * The dibs layer provides an abstraction between dibs device drivers and dibs
 * clients.
 */

 * and receiver can be the same device. A dmb belongs to exactly one client.
