Not sure whether that's accurate semantics, but I like to think of plaform_drv 
and pci_decode as a H.A.L.
(i.e. a hardware abstraction layer, as the term was used many eons ago by Dave 
Haynie et alia).
Write your OS to 'talk' to the HAL, and then you can port your OS to many 
platforms with more ease.
Well the state of the art probably moved by leaps and bounds since I heard the 
term, but I'm the nostalgic type ^^.
