The document you need is here: http://goo.gl/fJYxdN "PCI Bus Binding To: IEEE Std 1275-1994" The short answer is that Power (OpenFirmware-to-PCI) supports both MMIO and Memory mappings for BARs. Also, both 32-bit and 64-bit BARs are required to be supported. It is legal to construct a 64-bit BAR by masking all the high bits to zero. Presumably it would be OK to mask the 16 high bits to zero as well, constructing a 48-bit address. Mike -- Mike Day | "Endurance is a Virtue"
