2015-05-24misc: mic: SCIF Hardware BusSudeep Dutt
The SCIF hardware bus abstracts the low level hardware driver details like interrupts and mapping remote memory so that the same SCIF driver can work without any changes with the MIC host or card driver as long as the hardware bus operations are implemented. The SCIF hardware device is registered by the host and card drivers on the SCIF hardware bus resulting in probing the SCIF driver.

2014-07-11misc: mic: add a bus driver for virtual MIC devicesSudeep Dutt
This MIC virtual bus driver takes the responsibility of creating all the virtual devices connected to the PCIe device on the host and the platform device on the card. The MIC bus hardware operations provide a way to abstract certain hardware details from the base physical devices. Examples of devices added on the MIC virtual bus include host DMA and card DMA. This abstraction enables using a common DMA driver on host and card.
