Allow TX buffers to be allocated only in the upper 75% of the pool to avoid a completely filled buffer preventing the driver from processing responses. This also improves performance, as RX allocations do not require checking buffers allocated for TX unless there are more than 16 incoming messages -- which is highly unlikely. An earlier version used the lower 75% for TX messages, but that was considered to be not that effective due to the overlaps of RX and TX buffers mentioned above.

NVEC: An NVidia compliant Embedded Controller Protocol Implemenation This is an implementation of the NVEC protocol used to communicate with an embedded controller (EC) via I2C bus. The EC is an I2C master while the host processor is the I2C slave. Requests from the host processor to the EC are started by triggering a gpio line. There is no written documentation of the protocol available to the public, but the source code[1] of the published nvec reference drivers can be a guide. This driver is currently only used by the AC100 project[2], but it is likely, that other Tegra boards (not yet mainlined, if ever) also use it.
