Are you saying that write_dword will not write to pciconf space?

I've like *read* a dump file into pciexbar memory space to overcome my wifi
whitelisting. Currently doing this via a grub2 DOS Image entry explained at
http://www.wimsbios.com/phpBB2/topic9388-135.html#53650 . To have such an
ability would mean I could just add another menuitem "Ubunto [reverse
whitelisting]" and bypass the need for the DOS bootimage. This ability would
be further enhanced if a compressed dump file could be used to speed up the
process.

So I guess it should be a request for:

- 'read_dump ADDRESS FILE' for mPCIe wifi whitelsting could be done within
grub2. .
- a 'setpci' type command  to do pci-e pci-port bridge window fixups,
amongst other things.
