440fx: fix PAM, PCI holes
The current implementation of PAM and the PCI holes is broken in several
ways:
- PCI BARs are not restricted to the PCI hole (a BAR may hide memory)
- PCI devices do not respect PAM (if a PCI device maps a region while
PAM maps the region to RAM, the request will be honored)
This patch fixes things by introducing a pci address space, and using
memory region aliases to represent PAM regions, SMRAM, and PCI holes.
The memory hierarchy looks something like
system_memory
|
+--- low memory alias (0-0xe0000000)
| |
| +-- ram@0
|
+--- high memory alias (0x100000000-EOM)
| |
| +-- ram@0xe0000000
|
+--- pci hole alias (end of low memory-0x100000000)
| |
| +-- pci@end-of-low-memory
|
|
+--- pam[n] (0xc0000-0xc3fff etc) (when set to pci, priority 1)
| |
| +-- pci@0xc4000 etc
|
+--- smram (0xa0000-0xbffff) (when set to pci/vga, priority 1)
|
+-- pci@0xa0000 etc
ram (simple ram region)
pci
|
+--- BARn
|
+--- VGA 0xa0000-0xbffff
|
+--- ROMs
