So, just come up with a better solution for the problem that does not involve using FSEG because that's gone already.
What about: - Keep the shared part of the ROM cached (or even locked in cache) or anything that will allow the processor to continue fetching/executing code while sizing the BARs. - Trap on each option ROM write to a BAR, check if it is sizing related, then give back the expected info and leave the BAR untouched. vm86 can be trapped easily. For x86emu, we don't even have to trap. That leaves our own BAR sizing as a possible problem. As long as we get that one right, we win.
I believe Ron earlier suggested key ingredients of the recipe above, so I don't want to take credit for it.
