Problem with a IBM ServerRAID and it's PCI-bridge

[Jan Smith]

We are trying to build the ips driver for the IBM ServerRAID 4H
card. When the kernel is booting do we get some information about some
fixup function that are moving the cards I/O-adress from fffc00 to
1fffc00. (Output from dmesg is included below.)

What is this fixup function needed for? We think that one reason to
move the card's I/O-adress is that there is another SCSI interface
that's using the adress fffc00 but as we not are using that interface
don't I see why we have to bother about that.

I have only found information about different types of Mac's that
need the fixup method to initialize it's PCI-cards in a right
way. This PCI card has a PCI bridge and maybe that's the reason
why we need to use it even here. I'd be very pleased to get
some information that anyone can have about the fixup function from
people who are writing drivers for RS/6000 machines.
