You mean PIO. I agree with all your points here. The only thing I
saw as an option would be to add a PIO BAR that is an exact mirror
of the MMIO BAR if and only if:
- PIO is indeed significantly faster on platforms we care about
and/or
- There is significant simplification in things like BIOSes in
using PIO over MMIO
I personally don't care and would chose to use MMIO always including in
firmware on ppc.
Cheers,
Ben.
