For example, 82801I PCI Express Port #1 (devid 0x2940) is really
Root Port and it has the Root Control Register and the default
value is 0 (the document say so and really 0 (Tested with my
machine)).
used by drivers: a short name for the quiet/naive case and a string
to override the "pcidevs" based name by one provided by the driver,
ride on yesterday's kernel minor version bump
by purpose) - this is a stack hog, and with this change my uTCA amd64
system boots again
a lot of similar code can be eliminated from pci device drivers this way,
but before doing so (and making the new function part of the module API)
I'd like to consider a modification to make it work with drivers which
prefer to print names from other sources (like pciide)
Use named constants and more conventional variable names in
pci_msi_establish() and pci_msi_disestablish(). Fix a couple of bugs:
pci_msi_establish() returned a pointer to the struct intrhand instead of
to the struct msi_hdl as it was intended to, and pci_msi_disestablish()
did not free(9) the msi_hdl.
separate kernel module. Update pci bus attach routine to load the
module (if available) when we're about to start scanning the bus, and
unload the module after the scan is finished.
On architectures which support loading of modules by the boot loader,
the 'pciverbose' module can be loaded and executed without needing to
rebuild the kernel. On all architectures, using 'options PCIVERBOSE'
in the kernel configuration file will create a 'builtin' module which
is functionally equivalent to previous behavior.
XXX Although not nearly as large as the vendor and product tables,
XXX the PCI class and subclass tables might also be offloaded into
XXX the module at a future time.
XXX Cardbus (and possibly other) drivers should also be modified to
XXX load the module before scanning/attaching devices.
Register into a subroutine. Use terminology similar to that which
PCI System Architecture (4th Edition) uses. For comparison with PCI
reference books, specify flags and fields with __BIT(n) and __BITS(m, n)
instead of hexadecimal constants.
Eliminating redundant pointers in the tables saves nearly 20K (20% of the table
size). In the process, add a pci_findproduct() and make that and
pci_findvendor() return a "const char *".
