The Virtio Over PCIe (VOP) bus abstracts the low level hardware
details like interrupts and mapping remote memory so that the same VOP
driver can work without changes with different MIC host or card
drivers as long as the hardware bus operations are implemented. The
VOP driver registers itself on the VOP bus. The base PCIe drivers
implement the bus ops and register VOP devices on the bus, resulting
in the VOP driver being probed with the VOP devices. This allows the
VOP functionality to be shared between multiple generations of Intel
MIC products.

The MIC COSM bus allows the co-processor state management (COSM)
functionality to be shared between multiple generations of Intel MIC
products. The COSM driver registers itself on the COSM bus. The base
PCIe drivers implement the bus ops and register COSM devices on the
bus, resulting in the COSM driver being probed with the COSM devices.
COSM bus ops, e.g. start, stop, ready, reset, therefore abstract out
common functionality from its specific implementation for individual
generations of MIC products.

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.

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.
