Moreover, a device ID is necessary to bind a driver directly to an ACPI device
node, but device IDs are not generally associated with all of them. Some of
them contain alternative information allowing the corresponding pieces of

enough, binding an ACPI driver to an ACPI device node may even be impossible.

INTRA-host-bridge interleave (multiple devices on one host bridge) is NOT

a) Virtual channels
Same concept as in sa11x0 driver, ie. a driver was assigned a "virtual

assigned on the fly when the transfer is issued.
b) Transfer anatomy for a scatter-gather transfer
implementation is to call :c:func:`ata_std_error_handler`.
:c:func:`ata_std_error_handler` will perform a standard error handling sequence
-to resurect failed devices, detach lost devices and add new devices (if any).

This function will call the various reset operations for a port, as needed.
These operations are as follows.
At the lowest level the P2P subsystem offers a naked struct p2p_provider that
delegates lifecycle management to the providing driver. It is expected that
drivers using this option will wrap their MMIO memory in DMABUF and use DMABUF

+to provide an invalidation shutdown. These MMIO addresses have no struct page, and
if used with mmap() must create special PTEs. As such there are very few
kernel uAPIs that can accept pointers to them; in particular they cannot be used
with read()/write(), including O_DIRECT.
