It is difficult to support a board which has pre-samples and
post-samples registers and synchronize these value with the nsamples
zio_attribute and control field. But, it is really simple for board that
hasn't pre and post samples to use these two attributes because they can
use only one attribute for their purpose (only pre-sample or only
post-sample).

When a device has several input or output csets, we usually want
a different data-transfer function for each of them. Using a function
specific to each cset simplifies things a little.

no existing trigger uses the file_operations, and the design
evolved towards a pipeline, where there always is a buffer
exchanging data with the trigger

The argument is a relic of original design and was used incorrectly.

This changes some method and stuff, in order to make all input and
output be cset-based. This solves a number of issues with the previous
setup. Thus, even drivers must be made differentlym abd this fixes
zio-zero accordingly.

As a side effect, we have a data_done method in trigger ops, so the device
can tell when it is done. And the fire_trigger returns void, since it
cannot wait for stuff to be done. See documentation for details.

These files document how ZIO works. They are still subject
to modification while we are writing code, and some information,
for example how devices work, are still missing.
