PCI was intended to be implemented as a LOCAL BUS with all agents on the LOCAL BUS being able to talk with any other agent using a flat addressing scheme. Your PCI thing does not look like true PCI to me, but rather like some bad mutant that has every chance not to survive a long time.
Intentions are neither here nor there. PCI is MORE USEFUL, because you CAN do things like IOMMU's and treat PCI like a complete seperate I/O bus world. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
