- From an earlier thread with Carl-Daniel it sounded like there are
fixed locations for APICs that need to be avoided. Where should these be avoided?
The right way to do this is create devices for them that hold fixed address resources.
Sounds good to me. We just have to make sure that fixed address resources are allowed even if they are between DEVICE_MEM_HIGH and 0xFFFFFFFF.
Fixed resources right now just get skipped. They're not even considered by the allocator. I think it might be nice to do some sort of sanity check, but ...
A nice warning message for overlapping resources would be helpful.
