/**
 * \file ipa_controls.h
 * \brief Type definitions for serialized controls
 *
 * This file defines binary formats to store ControlList and ControlInfoMap
 * instances in contiguous, self-contained memory areas called control packets.
 * It describes the layout of the packets through a set of C structures. These
 * formats shall be used when serializing ControlList and ControlInfoMap to
 * transfer them through the IPA C interface and IPA IPC transports.
 *
 * A control packet contains a list of entries, each of them describing a single
 * control info or control value. The packet starts with a fixed-size header
 * described by the ipa_controls_header structure, followed by an array of
 * fixed-size entries. Each entry is associated with data, stored either
 * directly in the entry, or in a data section after the entries array.
 *
 * The following diagram describes the layout of the ControlList packet.

 * The packet header contains the size of the packet, the number of entries, and
 * the offset from the beginning of the packet to the data section. The packet
 * entries array immediately follows the header. The data section starts at the
 * offset ipa_controls_header::data_offset from the beginning of the packet, and
 * shall be aligned to a multiple of 8 bytes.
 *
 * Entries are described by the ipa_control_value_entry structure. They contain
 * the numerical ID of the control, its type, and the number of control values.
 *
 * The control values are stored in the data section in the platform's native
 * format. The ipa_control_value_entry::offset field stores the offset from the
 * beginning of the data section to the values.
 *
 * All control values in the data section shall be stored in the same order as
 * the respective control entries, shall be aligned to a multiple of 8 bytes,
 * and shall be contiguous in memory.
 *
 * Empty spaces may be present between the end of the entries array and the
 * data section, and after the data section. They shall be ignored when parsing
 * the packet.
 *
 * The following diagram describes the layout of the ControlInfoMap packet.
