+ *  HOST:
+ *	General refers to the Controller and Driver "pair".
+ *  DATA HANDLER:
+ *	Under the context of Linux it generally refers to an interrupt handler.

+ *  DATA BLOCK:
+ *	The amount of data needed to be transfered as predefined in the

+ *  STORAGE ATOMIC:
+ *	The 'DATA BLOCK' associated to the 'DATA HANDLER', and can be as
