One interesting thing. In PCI Spec 2.2, section 6.2.4 it says that:

	Values in these registers must be loaded and valid prioir to the
	system BIOS or any system software accessing the PCI 
	Coniguration Space. blah,blah, blah. These values must not be 
	loaded using expansion ROM software becuase expansion ROM 
	software is not guaranteed to be run during POST 
	in all systems.

Are we doing something out of spec ?


BTW, why I can't download PCI spec form PCI-SIG anymore ? Even for
the 'useless' PCI conventional stuff.
