+    <p>Drivers are the basic building block for libvirt functionality
+    to support the capability to handle specific hypervisor driver calls.
+    Drivers are discovered and registered during connection processing as
+    part of the <code class='docref'>virInitialize</code> API. Each driver
+    has a registration API which loads up the driver specific function
+    references for the libvirt APIs to call. The following is a simplistic
+    view of the hypervisor driver mechanism. Consider the stacked list of
+    drivers as a series of modules that can be plugged into the architecture
+    depending on how libvirt is configured to be built.</p>

+    <p>The driver architecture is also used to support other virtualization
+    components such as storage, storage pools, host device, networking,
+    network interfaces, and network filters.</p>
+    <p>See the <a href="drivers.html">libvirt drivers</a> page for more
