Devices that want to initiate channel I/O need to attach to the ccw bus. Interaction with the driver core is done via the common I/O layer, which provides the abstractions of ccw devices and ccw device drivers.

The functions that initiate or terminate channel I/O all act upon a ccw device structure. Device drivers must not bypass those functions or strange side effects may happen.
