 68   <para>
 69         The MCA bus functions provide a generalised interface to find MCA
 70         bus cards, to claim them for a driver, and to read and manipulate POS 
 71         registers without being aware of the motherboard internals or 
 72         certain deep magic specific to onboard devices.
 73   </para>
 74   <para>
 75         The basic interface to the MCA bus devices is the slot. Each slot
 76         is numbered and virtual slot numbers are assigned to the internal
 77         devices. Using a pci_dev as other busses do does not really make
 78         sense in the MCA context as the MCA bus resources require card
 79         specific interpretation.
 80   </para>
 81   <para>
 82         Finally the MCA bus functions provide a parallel set of DMA
 83         functions mimicing the ISA bus DMA functions as closely as possible,
 84         although also supporting the additional DMA functionality on the
 85         MCA bus controllers.
