The scope of the "extra device ports" configuration is not made clear by
the CMN documentation - so far we've assumed it applies globally, based
on the sole example which suggests as much. However it transpires that
this is incorrect, and the format does in fact vary based on each
individual XP's port configuration. As a consequence, we're currenly
liable to decode the port/device indices from a node ID incorrectly,
thus program the wrong event source in the DTM leading to bogus event
counts, and also show device topology on the wrong ports in debugfs.
To put this right, rework node IDs yet again to carry around the
additional data necessary to decode them properly per-XP. At this point
the notion of fully decomposing an ID becomes more impractical than it's
worth, so unabstracting the XY mesh coordinates (where 2/3 users were
just debug anyway) ends up leaving things a bit simpler overall.

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 reStructuredText 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.
