MEMBERS
  ctlr_mbox
      Specifies a pointer to the mailbox data structure for hardware
      platforms that access I/O space through hardware mailboxes. The bus
      adapter code sets this member.

  bus_hd
      Specifies a pointer to the bus data structure to which this controller
      is connected.

  nxt_ctlr
      Specifies a pointer to the next controller at this level.

  dev_list
      Specifies a linked list of devices connected to this controller.

  driver
      Specifies a pointer to the driver data structure for this controller.

  ctlr_type
      Specifies the controller type.

  ctlr_name
      Specifies the controller name.

  ctlr_num
      Specifies the controller number.

  bus_name
      Specifies the name of the bus to which this controller is connected.

  bus_num
      Specifies the number of the bus to which the controller is connected.

  rctlr
      Specifies the remote controller number (for example, the SCSI ID).

  slot
      Specifies the bus slot or node number.

  alive
      Specifies a flag word to indicate the current status of the controller.

  pname
      Specifies a pointer to the port name for this controller, if
      applicable.

  port
      Specifies a pointer to the port data structure for this controller, if
      applicable.

  intr
      Specifies an array that contains one or more entry points for the
      controller interrupt handlers.

  addr
      Specifies the address of the device registers or memory.

  addr2
      Specifies an optional second virtual address for this controller.	 This
      member is set if there are two CSR spaces.

  flags
      Specifies controller-specific flags.

  bus_priority
      Specifies the configured VMEbus priority level of the device.  Only
      drivers operating on the VMEbus use this member.

  ivnum
      Specifies an interrupt vector number. Only drivers operating on the
      VMEbus use this member.

  priority
      Specifies the system priority level (SPL) that can be used to block
      interrupts from this device. Only drivers operating on the VMEbus use
      this member.

  cmd Specifies a field that is not currently used.

  physaddr
      Specifies the physical address that corresponds to the virtual address
      set in the addr member.

  physaddr2
      Specifies the physical address that corresponds to the virtual address
      set in the addr2 member.

  private
      Specifies private storage for use by this controller or controller
      type.

  conn_priv
      Specifies private storage for use by the bus to which this controller
      is connected.

  rsvd
      This member is reserved for future expansion of the data structure.

DESCRIPTION
  The controller data structure represents an instance of a controller
  entity, one that connects logically to a bus. A controller can control
  devices that are directly connected or can perform some other controlling
  operation, such as a network interface or terminal controller operation.
