I think it is better to ask for the start address, then calculate the
memory window size like the patch does as the size is a odd value
(0x0ec00000) and I guess for most people it isn't obvious why ...
In case we have a separate window prefetchable memory we'll need one of
the sizes too (then calculate the other).
Is there any reason why there is a fixed split, other than making the
code simpler (i.e. need only one instead of two passes over all pci
devices)?
cheers,
Gerd
