I meant the timer interrupt in the first place. I assumed it's the
only one that does matter on this stage of the boot process.
What else could happen (in the real world terms)?

No, the window is huge from the PCI bus perspective.
IIRC, PCI config read/write on x86 works like this (I may be wrong though):
i/o port write (BAR address) ~1us
i/o port read (BAR value after writing ~0) ~1us
i/o port write (BAR address) ~1us
i/o port write (saved BAR value) ~1us
It's a little bit more than 9 PCI clocks. Am I missing something?
Ivan.
