Note also that configuration software is responsible for programming all address range
registers such as MIR, MLIM, MBASE, IOLIM, IOBASE, PMBASE, PMLIM, PMBU, PMLU
(coherent, MMIO, prefetchable, non-prefetchable, I/O) with the values that provide
exclusive address ranges, that is, prevent overlap with each other and/or with the
ranges covered with the main memory. There is no provision in the MCH hardware to
enforce prevention of overlap and operations of the system in the case of overlap are
not guaranteed.
PMBASE[7:2] - Prefetchable Memory Base
The Prefetchable Memory Base and Memory Limit registers define a memory mapped
I/O prefetchable address range (32-bit addresses) which is used by the PCI Express
bridge to determine when to forward memory transactions based on the
following formula:
The upper 12 bits of both the Prefetchable Memory Base and Memory Limit registers
are read/write and corresponds to the upper 12 address bits, A[31:20], of 32-bit
addresses. For the purpose of address decoding, the bridge assumes that the lower 20
address bits, A[19:0], of the memory base address are zero. Similarly, the bridge
assumes that the lower 20 address bits, A[19:0], of the memory limit address (not
implemented in the Memory Limit register) are F FFFFh. Thus, the bottom of the
defined memory address range will be aligned to a 1 MB boundary and the top of the
defined memory address range will be one less than a 1 MB boundary
