I think the reservation hints should be a absolute number, not a increment. i.e. if qemu suggests to reserve three extra bus numbers seabios should reserve three, no matter whenever there are zero, one, two or three child busses present. And I guess seabios should interpret that as minimum, so in case it finds five child busses it will allocate five bus numbers of course ... Same with the other limit hints. If the hint says to allocate 16M, and existing device bars sum up to 4M, allocate 16M (and therefore leave 12M address space for hotplug). If the device bars sum up to 32M, allocate that. While being at it: I have my doubts the capability struct layout (which mimics register layout) buys us that much, seabios wouldn't blindly copy over the values anyway. Having regular u32 fields looks more useful to me. cheers, Gerd
