I knew mmconfig was broken conceptually the first time I started seeing write posting "bug fixes" for it that would do a read back from PCI config space via mmconfig to post the write, which of course has potential side-effects on the device and is absolutely illegal if the write just performed put the device into a PM state or whatever. Truth is stranger than fiction at times. MMCONFIG is very much an ill-conceived idea. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
