Subject: [PATCH 0/2] PCI: Add support for PCI Enhanced Allocation "BARs"
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2015 09:59:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1440089947-2839-1-git-send-email-sean.stalley@intel.com> (raw)

PCI Enhanced Allocation is a new method of allocating MMIO & IO
resources for PCI devices & bridges. It can be used instead
of the traditional PCI method of using BARs.

EA entries are hardware-initialized to a fixed address.
Unlike BARs, regions described by EA are cannot be moved.
Because of this, only devices which are permanently connected to
the PCI bus can use EA. A removable PCI card must not use EA.

This patchset adds support for using EA entries instead of BARs.

The Enhanced Allocation ECN is publicly available here:
