Hi, This patchset came from my endeavor to understand better how some of the amdgpu components operate; in particular, I was focused on the ideas behind Pipes, Hardware Queues, MES, and Ring Buffers. In some way, this series is an attempt to put multiple pieces of information spread around many different places in an organized way in the amdgpu kernel-doc. In particular, the following links were crucial to create this series:

The next two patches are just some basic organization to improve the documentation flow. The last part describes pipes, hardware queues, ring buffers, and MES.
