VMA Array. This is not the individual DMA
descriptors completed, but for each of the user
requested I/Os.
Unaligned host buf
reads
Displays the total I/O read requests from a HP
VMA Array, but only incremented when an
unaligned host address required special buffer
byte copying to service the DMA request.
Flash partial page

Incremented when a DMA descriptor for read
is less than a flash page (4kB) in size.
