Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the explanation.

What I don't understand is why the kernel is not complaining about
remapping this if "devm_pci_remap_iospace" can't work. I cannot see
any complaints in my dmesg log.

If I am understanding you correctly, you mean to change PCI_IOBASE
location to be somewhere in KSEG2 and set up the new io base address
through "set_io_port_base", right?
TLB entries should be out of this. Yes, I don't like this either.

I don't know which architectures are not currently defining PCI_IOBASE
and might need this to be called (or if this is also not possible at
all scenario), honestly.

I guess we can also redefine the weak "pci_address_to_pio" symbol for
mips to avoid this change, but only to do a "return (unsigned long)
address;" it might make no sense also :).

Let's ask about this, just to be sure...

+cc Bjorn Helgaas and Lorenzo Pieralisi.

Bjorn, Lorenzo. Sorry to bother you. What do you think about this?
What should be the correct approach to handle this? Does the
"pci_parse_request_of_pci_ranges" change sound reasonable for you?

Thanks in advance for your time and clarification.
