Initializing hardware components using parallel driver loading and serial access granting

A system comprising:

• memory;
• one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
• load a plurality of software drivers, which correspond to a plurality of respective hardware components, in parallel during boot-up of the system based at least in part on the plurality of hardware components being a same hardware component type;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause access of the software drivers to the respective hardware components to be controlled by causing requests to be serially provided from the respective software drivers to the respective hardware components during the boot-up of the system in response to the plurality of software drivers being loaded during the boot-up of the system, the requests requesting initiation of communication with the respective hardware components.
