Re: [PATCH V7 1/3] powerpc/pci: Make sure ISA IO base is not zero

Is there no lasting remnant of that temporary wrong isa_io_base?  We

stop working once isa_io_base changes?  Or does that happen later, after
this function has been called on all buses (and would that continue to
be the case if we change the PCI bus to a platform device)?

If you continue creating your PCI busses all at once early on you'll be
fine. The platform device business is going to break that (and other
things as well btw, such as pci_final_fixup).

Maybe it's time to contemplate doing something more like ppc64 and
reserve a piece of virtual address space (I know there isn't much, so
make it 64k per bus max) and just map the busses in there with the first
64k being reserved for the ISA stuff if it exists ?
