One interesting thing. In PCI Spec 2.2, section 6.2.4 it says that:
Values in these registers must be loaded and valid prioir to the system BIOS or any system software accessing the PCI Coniguration Space.
Haha.. who should set them then, if they are not set in hardware?
These values must not be loaded using expansion ROM software becuase expansion ROM software is not guaranteed to be run during POST in all systems.
Are we doing something out of spec ?
Don't think so, since we're usually not executing any expansion rom software (option roms) at all. And especially we're not _writing_ option roms
BTW, why I can't download PCI spec form PCI-SIG anymore ? Even for the 'useless' PCI conventional stuff.
I assume they want $$
