Because if nothing uses it it is essentially dead code.

There are no memory windows in there afaik.  The main use is the HT
link config stuff, which in a few places needs special handling to
work :-/

Can you tell more about this?

If other places that need it do not do an alignment check, you don't  
need
to either I suppose.  But could you make the switch for length have
explicit 1,2,4 and default error?

I don't think the hardware freezes, but probably Linux isn't happy  
when it
tries to write to the non-existent BARs.  Or something like that.

The HT config is at (PCI) offset 0x40.  There are no implemented  
registers
at PCI offset >= 0x100.  That corresponds to f8070000..f80703ff, there's
one 4-byte PCI reg per 16 byte U3 bus address.

It could use a comment at least.  The addresses aren't "cfg_data" and
"cfg_addr" at all.

That would be most excellent!  I hope there isn't much pmac special- 
casing
needed for that.

Thanks,
