Remaining issues:
- Right now I'm testing it with a reserved area for the IOAPIC in the
southbridge and a reserved area in the lpc/ISA function of the southbridge.
The downside of this is that I have to touch every southbridge to add it. I think it is the right place, though.
Not so much of a downside, since this is a fix for a real issue, and puts the code where it (in my opinion) belongs.
Good. I agree.
- Kontron will break because I removed its special case from the resource
allocator. I think with the new resource allocator it will be easy to fix, but I'd like a Kontron tester.
I'll be glad to test... Can you suggest a fix or give a pointer on how to fix this? If we can get rid of the PCIe hole handling hack, I'm all for checking this in.
I think there are a couple of possible fixes depending on what the real problem is.
If the problem is that it needs to be at a fixed address, allocate it at the top (as high as you can before the IOAPIC) of the address space, and mark it fixed.
I guess there are too many other possibilities for why you needed to implement it that way, but I'd be happy to help you solve the problem.
Thanks, Myles
