This is actually only needed for an internal use project, and this
hack is exactly what I was looking for! It works wonderfully,
although I had to change the code slightly:
if ((pci_maptype(base) & PCI_MAPMEM) == PCI_MAPMEM) {
base &= ~0x80000000;
printf("0x%x)\n", base);
pci_cfgwrite(cfg, reg, base, 4);
ln2range = pci_maprange(base);
}
to handle prefetchable memory as well.
Thank you very much for the suggestion -- I'd read through that code,
but didn't think about the simple fix you've suggested!
