Why This File Exists

Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.

	  This is VMware's Virtual Machine Communication Interface.  It enables
	  high-speed communication between host and guest in a virtual
	  environment via the VMCI virtual device.

	  If unsure, say N.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
	  module will be called vmw_vmci.

Annotation

• Atlas domain: Driver Families / drivers/misc.
• Implementation status: atlas-only.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
