Introduce a mechanism that performs an handshake between the userspace provider and kernel driver which verifies that the user supports all required features in order to operate correctly. The handshake verifies the needed functionality by comparing the reported device caps and the provider caps. If the device reports a non-zero capability the appropriate comp mask is required from the userspace provider in order to allocate the context.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
