I don't know how the conversion works exactly, or where it takes place, but
the HT packet is a read or a write to 0xFD.FE00.0000 + an offset for the
UnitID(pci device number).  So, for device 7 on the bus and config register
0x14, you get 0xFDFE003814.  You don't have to worry about bus numbers
because they get taken care of based on the HT chain the to which the packet
is routed.

Based on that, I would say it's not shared across sockets, but it definitely
could be shared across cores.

Isn't there a way to do MMCONF cycles from the NB?
