I do not understand this paragraph, in particular:

- "A system without PCI legacy resources (e.g. ARM64)". What does this
  mean ? I take this as "ARM64 does not support IO space"; if a PCI host
  bridge supports IO space, there is nothing from an architectural
  point of view that prevents an MMIO based IO space implementation to
  work on ARM64. It is PCI bridge specific, not arch specific.
- "the VGA arbiter checks for legacy resources". Do you mean it checks
  if a VGA class device enabled IO/MEM address spaces (and if the
  bridges upstream forwards those address spaces), correct ?

The assumption relying on ARM64 not supporting IO space (if that's what
you mean by "a system without PCI legacy resources") is not correct.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
