There's likely some hidden register somewhere. But then it would be check model number look for hidden register configure these busses and it will likely change often. Frankly I fail to see how such a thing is better than just using the device ID. Perhaps the driver is not the right place for it, but the ID seems to be. The other option is to simply make it unconditional. That would be even simpler, but it is a bit more risky. Hmm, I suppose may be worth trying to find out what Windows uses. If they get away with MMCONFIG everywhere we should be too. Or the third option would be to move the ops pointer into the PCI device, so it's a per device setting. If people are ok with that I can look into it. > Maybe there is information in ACPI as well. I don't think ACPI has any concept of "internal SOC busses" -Andi
