+ USB4 and Thunderbolt
+======================
+USB4 is the public specification based on Thunderbolt 3 protocol with
+some differences at the register level among other things. Connection
+manager is an entity running on the host router (host controller)
+responsible for enumerating routers and establishing tunnels. A
+connection manager can be implemented either in firmware or software.
+Typically PCs come with a firmware connection manager for Thunderbolt 3
+and early USB4 capable systems. Apple systems on the other hand use
+software connection manager and the later USB4 compliant devices follow
+the suit.
+
+The Linux Thunderbolt driver supports both and can detect at runtime which
+connection manager implementation is to be used. To be on the safe side the
+software connection manager in Linux also advertises security level
+``user`` which means PCIe tunneling is disabled by default. The
+documentation below applies to both implementations with the exception that
+the software connection manager only supports ``user`` security level and
+is expected to be accompanied with an IOMMU based DMA protection.

+Security levels and how to use them
+-----------------------------------
The interface presented here is not meant for end users. Instead there
should be a userspace tool that handles all the low-level details, keeps
a database of the authorized devices and prompts users for new connections.

keep in mind that this bypasses the security levels and makes the system
vulnerable to DMA attacks.
-Security levels and how to use them
------------------------------------
Starting with Intel Falcon Ridge Thunderbolt controller there are 4
security levels available. Intel Titan Ridge added one more security level
(usbonly). The reason for these is the fact that the connected devices can
