   2 #  This driver initializes and installs the Data Hub protocol.
   3 #
   4 #  The data hub is a volatile database that is intended as the major focus for the accumulation of
   5 #  manageability data.T he hub is fed by "producers" with chunks of data in a defined format.
   6 #  Consumers may then extract the data in temporal "log" order.As an example, progress codes might
   7 #  be recorded in the data hub for future processing.Ot her data contributed to the data hub might
   8 #  include, for example, statistics on enumerated items such as memory, add-in buses, and add-in
   9 #  cards and data on errors encountered during boot (for example, the system did not boot off the
  10 #  network because the cable was not plugged in).
  11 #  Some classes of data have defined formats.For example, the amount of memory in the system is
  12 #  reported in a standard format so that consumers can be written to extract the data.O ther data is
  13 #  system specific.For example, additional detail on errors might be specific to the driver that
  14 #  discovered the error.The consumer might be a driver that tabularizes data from the data hub,
  15 #  providing a mechanism for the raw data to be made available to the OS for post-processing by
  16 #  OS-based applications.
  17 #  The intent of the data hub is for drivers that enumerate and configure parts of the system to report
  18 #  their discoveries to the data hub.This data can then be extracted by other drivers that report those
  19 #  discoveries using standard manageability interfaces such as SMBIOS and Intelligent Platform
  20 #  Management Interface (IPMI).The alternative to a data-hub-like architecture is to require all
  21 #  drivers to be aware of all reporting formats.
