SW has to manually bootstrap the HT host bridge, attach and manage resources for all the children below it.

SW has to manually : bootstrap the HT host bridge, attach and manage resources for all the : children below it. FreeBSD's pci bridge driver doesn't do all the things needed to do this. We'd be happy to help you add them to the driver. It is something that's been needed for a while, and blocking on another long-term feature, but something that could be done without it (although less eloquently).

I'm working on changing x86 to have a logical platform device to handle the non-ACPI and non-PC-AT cases. Probably this will show up as each platform having its own nexus(4) driver and you can then enumerate platform-specific devices like PCI host bridges in your nexus driver's attach routine. Right now what you'd have to do is create your own 'foo0' that attaches to nexus0 and overrides acpi0 and legacy0 (unfortunately that means hacking legacy0 as it only checks for acpi0 currently). -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-new-bus@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-new-bus To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-new-bus-unsubscribe@..." |
