This is the new-generation IEEE 1394 (FireWire) driver stack
a.k.a. Juju, a new implementation designed for robustness and
simplicity.
See http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration
for information about migration from the older Linux 1394 stack
to the new driver stack.

To compile this driver as a module, say M here: the module will be
called firewire-core.

This module functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394, and video1394.
To access it from application programs, you generally need at least
libraw1394 v2. IIDC/DCAM applications need libdc1394 v2.
No libraries are required to access storage devices through the
firewire-sbp2 driver.

NOTE:
FireWire audio devices currently require the old drivers (ieee1394,
ohci1394, raw1394).
