Well, I came up with the original code which did per-bus type hooks. There are cases where it is needed. Take PCI. The top word can contain completely unrelated stuff such as the "prefetchable" attribute. It's perfectly legal to put a prefetchable BAR under a non-prefetchable bridge window. However a translation scheme that doesn't know to know that bit will fail. It's not far fetched, it happens on our machines today. And that's just one of the problems I had back then...
