It's not a "placeholder", it's absolutely necessary because this range is implicitly decoded by any VGA capable device in the system. Therefore no device should ever be allocated that part of the address space. If OBP is allocating this range to non-VGA devices, it's buggy, and is risking multiple devices responding at the same time to an I/O space access. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
