Right, according to 'Designing PCI cards and Drivers..', OF never
enables neither memory space, nor IO space, neither ROM. It should,
however, set both PCI_COMMAND_MASTER and PCI_COMMAND_INVALIDATE. I
didn't chek, though...

I'm getting a patch ready that fixes this on the PMac plkatform. Geert,
how about OF in your CHRP box? Does it need the enable fix as well?

Yep, my OF neither enables memory spaces on devices it doesn't have a driver
for. It even doesn't allocate space to them.

That's even worse.... Might be one more reason for Martin to get the
dynamic resource allocation stuff for PCI devices into the kernel ;-)

PS Geert, don't stay up too long ;-)
