# This driver initializes and installs the Data Hub protocol.

#

# The data hub is a volatile database that is intended as the major focus for the accumulation of

# manageability data.T he hub is fed by "producers" with chunks of data in a defined format.

# Consumers may then extract the data in temporal "log" order.As an example, progress codes might

# be recorded in the data hub for future processing.Ot her data contributed to the data hub might

# include, for example, statistics on enumerated items such as memory, add-in buses, and add-in

# cards and data on errors encountered during boot (for example, the system did not boot off the

# network because the cable was not plugged in).

# Some classes of data have defined formats.For example, the amount of memory in the system is

# reported in a standard format so that consumers can be written to extract the data.O ther data is

# system specific.For example, additional detail on errors might be specific to the driver that

# discovered the error.The consumer might be a driver that tabularizes data from the data hub,

# providing a mechanism for the raw data to be made available to the OS for post-processing by

# OS-based applications.

# The intent of the data hub is for drivers that enumerate and configure parts of the system to report

# their discoveries to the data hub.This data can then be extracted by other drivers that report those

# discoveries using standard manageability interfaces such as SMBIOS and Intelligent Platform

# Management Interface (IPMI).The alternative to a data-hub-like architecture is to require all

# drivers to be aware of all reporting formats.
