The outport is most likely unnecessary on any currently used hardware,
the byte copy is necessary from what I know on IA64 and friends so leave it.
Add a new API entry point which lets a driver select the old behaviour if
such a needs is ever found.
This gives me ~20% speed up on startup on 945 hardware.
The code in hw/xfree86/os-support/bus/sparcPci.c:simbaCheckBus()
is trying to mimmick VGA routing by disabling I/O space responses
behind the Simba PCI-PCI controller.
Unfortunately, doing this also happens to disable access to the
IDE controller I/O space registers, thus crashing the system. The
granularity of the I/O disabling in the Simba controller is not
fine enough to disable VGA without also disabling the IDE controller
registers.
Formerly we sized an array with a compile time constant, then initialized
its size to the same constant, but the Linux PCI init code would increase
that "constant". So if you happened to have more than 128 PCI devices,
you'd happily scribble into whatever variables happened to be in .bss
after that array.
Only really fixed for Linux atm. Other OSes will simply (still) fail to
work on video devices above the 128th PCI device.
/sys/devices reflects the bus topology, and we don't care that much.
Easier (and more reliable) to just look in /sys/bus/pci/devices, which
is a flat view.
Currently, the call to linuxPciOpenFile() is always made for read
only access which causes the subsequent mmap call to fail when the
memory is mapped read/write.

If we're mapping something in the "legacy range" (0-1Mb), we shouldn't
expand the requested range to the entire 0-1Mb range. Typically this
is for mapping the VGA frame buffer, and some platforms support mmap of
the frame buffer but not the entire 0-1Mb range.
For example, HP sx1000 and sx2000 ia64 platforms can have memory from
0-0x9ffff, VGA frame buffer from 0xa0000-0xbffff, and memory from
0xc0000-0xfffff. On these platforms, we can't map the entire 0-1Mb
range with the same attribute because the memory only supports WB,
while the frame buffer supports only UC. But an mmap of just the
frame buffer should work fine.
Mach64 driver bails out on ia64 because it cannot map device
memory. It turns out that some bogus and unneeded code attempts
to find the root bridge of the device and fails to do so proberly
as there this host-to-pci bridge is not existant. This code has
been around for years although it completely unclear what it had
been intended for. Fixing this by eliminating the bogus code.
