Hi.
How much does NetBSD scan into the PCI config of the target platform?
Are all the PCI config done as read only, or does it modify stuff like =
PCI address mapping and the control and status registers on the ARM =
processor?
I realise that current bsd port works very well, but to quote an ARM9 =
manual:=20
"Some bits are critical to PCI Controller's operation and should not be =
controlled by illegal software."
There you have it. ARMs opinion on them shifty NetBSD releases ; )
