[SeaBIOS] ohci bulk?

   Hi,

Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that one does 16bit memory 
access whereas pci memory bars are usually accessed using 32bit 
read/writes ...

Hmm, how about having a virtual "I/O bounce" device?  Allocate two 
dwords in I/O space.  One dword for the address, one for the data. reads 
and writes to the data register will be bounced to the address written 
into the address register.

On real hardware seabios could emulate this using SMM.

On virtual hardware qemu could emulate this so we don't need SMM support 
in kvm.

 From a security point of view it might not be the best idea though.

Comments?

cheers,
