-	D	driver member
-	B	block layer member
-	I	I/O scheduler member
-	=	====================
-
-Unless an entry contains a D classification, a device driver must not access
-this member. Some members may contain D classifications, but should only be
-access through certain macros or functions (eg ->flags).
