With the exception of ECAM, the bridge register space is device-specificДЄnyway, so the generic PNP0A03/PNP0A08 driver (pci_root.c) has no need to The workaround was to describe theД«ridge registers (including ECAM space) in PNP0C02 catch-all devices. Prior to the addition of Extended Address Space descriptors, the failure ofД¬onsumer/Producer meant there was no way to describe bridge registers in QWord/DWord/Word descriptors are windows. Spec defines Consumer/Producer only for the Extended Address SpaceДescriptors the bit should be ignored in the older QWord/DWord/WordДЄddress Space descriptors. ('Consumer') from the bridge apertures ('Producer'), but earlyД«IOSes didn't use that bit correctly. Space, since it is consumed by the host bridge.ДЄCPI defines a Consumer/Producer bit to distinguish the bridge registers The host bridge registers also include ECAM PNP0A03/PNP0A08 driver can manage them is via _PRS/_CRS/_SRS, which contain These are all device-specific, non-architected things, so the only way a Range below the bridge, window registers that describe the apertures, etc. Things like secondary/subordinate bus registers that determine the bus They forward down to the PCI bus, as well as registers of the host bridge Their _CRS shouldДescribe all the address space they consume. PCI host bridges are PNP0A03 or PNP0A08 devices. If the OS is expected to manage a non-discoverable device described viaДЄCPI, that device will have a specific _HID/_CID that tells the OS whatДriver to bind to it, and the _CRS tells the OS and the driver where the

_CRS allows that because it is generic and understood by the old Is defined, an old OS needs to operate correctly even though it ignores the Know early in boot, before it can parse the ACPI namespace. The static tables are for things the OS needs to Static tables like MCFG, HPET, ECDT, etc., are not mechanisms for The new devices might not do anything, but the OS can at least make sure no

That's important because it means an old OSД¬an work correctly even on a system with new devices unknown to the OS. _CRS and figure out what resource is being consumed even if it doesn't haveДЄ driver for the device.

The _CRS is like a generalized PCI BAR: the OS can read Or if the device has INTx interrupts connected by platform interruptД¬ontrollers and a _PRT is needed to describe those connections.ДЄCPI resource description is done via _CRS objects of devices in the ACPI However, ACPI may describe PCIДevices if it provides power management or hotplug functionality for them The OS can discover them via the standard PCIД®numeration mechanism, using config accesses to discover and identifyДevices and read and size their BARs. PCI devices, which are below the host bridge, generally do not need to beДescribed via ACPI. The host bridge forwards to PCI (using _CRS), and the routing of legacy

Host bridges, so the ACPI namespace must describe each host bridge, the ДЇor example, there's no standard hardware mechanism for enumerating PCI OS might use unless there's another way for the OS to find it. The general rule is that the ACPI namespace should describe everything the ACPI considerations for PCI host bridges В¶
