60 SCI provides a common interface across intel storage controller hardware.
62 Virtual PCI functions.  The SCI is comprised of four primary components:
63 -# SCI Base classes
64 -# SCI Core
65 -# SCI Framework
68 SCI directly allocates memory from the operating system.  It is expected that

72 The C language is utilized to implement SCI.  Although C is not an object
73 oriented language the SCI driver components, methods, and structures are
