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.

	 * is that the dax path is broken, but the block-I/O path is
	 * not. The kernel will no longer create namespaces using start
	 * padding, but it still supports block-I/O for legacy
	 * configurations mainly to allow a backup, reconfigure the
	 * namespace, and restore flow to repair dax operation.
