-/**
- * DOC: Route aggregation
- *
- * This is an implementation of route aggregation functionality.
- * It enables user to specify a set of route attributes in the configuarion file
- * and then, for a given destination (net), aggregate routes with the same
- * values of these attributes into a single multi-path route.
- *
- * Structure &channel contains pointer to aggregation list which is represented
- * by &aggr_list_linearized. In rt_notify_aggregated(), attributes from this
- * list are evaluated for every route of a given net and results are stored
- * in &rte_val_list which contains pointer to this route and array of &f_val.
- * Array of pointers to &rte_val_list entries is sorted using
- * sort_rte_val_list(). For comparison of &f_val structures, val_compare()
- * is used. Comparator function is written so that sorting is stable. If all
- * attributes have the same values, routes are compared by their global IDs.
- *
- * After sorting, &rte_val_list entries containing equivalent routes will be
- * adjacent to each other. Function process_rte_list() iterates through these
- * entries to identify sequences of equivalent routes. New route will be
- * created for each such sequence, even if only from a single route.
- * Only attributes from the aggreagation list will be set for the new route.
- * New &rta is created and prepare_rta() is used to copy static and dynamic
- * attributes to new &rta from &rta of the original route. New route is created
- * by create_merged_rte() from new &rta and exported to the routing table.

+/**
+ * DOC: Route aggregation
+ *
+ * This is an implementation of route aggregation functionality.
+ * It enables user to specify a set of route attributes in the configuarion file
+ * and then, for a given destination (net), aggregate routes with the same
+ * values of these attributes into a single multi-path route.
+ *
+ * Structure &channel contains pointer to aggregation list which is represented
+ * by &aggr_list_linearized. In rt_notify_aggregated(), attributes from this
+ * list are evaluated for every route of a given net and results are stored
+ * in &rte_val_list which contains pointer to this route and array of &f_val.
+ * Array of pointers to &rte_val_list entries is sorted using
+ * sort_rte_val_list(). For comparison of &f_val structures, val_compare()
+ * is used. Comparator function is written so that sorting is stable. If all
+ * attributes have the same values, routes are compared by their global IDs.
+ *
+ * After sorting, &rte_val_list entries containing equivalent routes will be
+ * adjacent to each other. Function process_rte_list() iterates through these
+ * entries to identify sequences of equivalent routes. New route will be
+ * created for each such sequence, even if only from a single route.
+ * Only attributes from the aggreagation list will be set for the new route.
+ * New &rta is created and prepare_rta() is used to copy static and dynamic
+ * attributes to new &rta from &rta of the original route. New route is created
+ * by create_merged_rte() from new &rta and exported to the routing table.
