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.
