+
+Goals and Theory of Operation
+
+The primary goal of this feature is to reduce the kernel boot time,
+by doing various independent hardware delays and discovery operations
+decoupled and not strictly serialized.
+
+More specifically, the asynchronous function call concept allows
+certain operations (primarily during system boot) to happen
+asynchronously, out of order, while these operations still
+have their externally visible parts happen sequentially and in-order.
+(not unlike how out-of-order CPUs retire their instructions in order)
+
+Key to the asynchronous function call implementation is the concept of
+a "sequence cookie" (which, although it has an abstracted type, can be
+thought of as a monotonically incrementing number).
+
+The async core will assign each scheduled event such a sequence cookie and
+pass this to the called functions.
+
+The asynchronously called function should before doing a globally visible
+operation, such as registering device numbers, call the
+async_synchronize_cookie() function and pass in its own cookie. The
+async_synchronize_cookie() function will make sure that all asynchronous
+operations that were scheduled prior to the operation corresponding with the
+cookie have completed.
+
+Subsystem/driver initialization code that scheduled asynchronous probe
+functions, but which shares global resources with other drivers/subsystems
+that do not use the asynchronous call feature, need to do a full
+synchronization with the async_synchronize_full() function, before returning
+from their init function. This is to maintain strict ordering between the
+asynchronous and synchronous parts of the kernel.
