+/**
+ * Keep-Warm (KW) buffer base address.
+ *
+ * Driver must allocate a 4KByte buffer that is used by 4965 for keeping the
+ * host DRAM powered on (via dummy accesses to DRAM) to maintain low-latency
+ * DRAM access when 4965 is Txing or Rxing. The dummy accesses prevent host
+ * from going into a power-savings mode that would cause higher DRAM latency,
+ * and possible data over/under-runs, before all Tx/Rx is complete.
+ *
+ * Driver loads IWL_FH_KW_MEM_ADDR_REG with the physical address (bits 35:4)
+ * of the buffer, which must be 4K aligned. Once this is set up, the 4965
+ * automatically invokes keep-warm accesses when normal accesses might not
+ * be sufficient to maintain fast DRAM response.
+ *
+ * Bit fields:
+ * 31-0: Keep-warm buffer physical base address [35:4], must be 4K aligned
