====== Console ====== 
The Linux kernel is configured to select the console by passing it the console parameter, for example: 
    console=ttyLTQ0,115200
    
It can be checked via cat /proc/cmdline

    
====== DMA ======

DMA Engine/LTQ HW Memcpy(ltq_hwmcpy.c)/netowrk: CONFIG_NET_DMA  -- Asynchronous Transfers/Transforms API
