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