We've been using the `VExpress_GEM5_V1` platform but it was failing on both
`stable` and `develop` when adding an `IGbE_e1000` PCI device to the
`makeArmSystem()` function in `FSConfig.py`. We've worked around it, but
looking for the "right way" to add such a device.
For reference, the change is shown here:
```
diff --git a/configs/common/FSConfig.py b/configs/common/FSConfig.py
index 6fd39a5aa..837d95982 100644
--- a/configs/common/FSConfig.py
+++ b/configs/common/FSConfig.py

mdesc=None,
else:
self.pci_ide = IdeController(disks=disks)
pci_devices.append(self.pci_ide)
+ self.realview.ethernet = IGbE_e1000()
+ pci_devices.append(self.realview.ethernet)
self.mem_ranges = []
size_remain = long(Addr(mdesc.mem()))
```
Specifically, the error that results during boot is regarding an address range
collision once the device loads:
```
fatal: system.iobus has two ports responding within range
[0x80000000:0x80020000]:
system.realview.ethernet.pio
system.iobridge.cpu_side_port
```
That `0x80000000:0x80020000` range corresponds exactly to the 128kB BAR0 of the
`IGbE` device.
The recent change [1] makes it clear that this is an issue because the
`IGbE_e1000` device uses a `PciMemBar`, which overlaps with the Realview's DRAM
address range, while the pre-existing `IdeController` device only uses
`PciIoBar` BARs, which don't. It's possible to avoid the range collision by
changing the Ethernet device's `PciMemBar` to a `PciIoBar` to keep it out of
the DRAM range, but it's not yet clear if that workaround will cause other
issues.
What's the proper way to avoid this collision?
