I don't understand.  It doesn't have "a configuration register".  Do
you mean that it does have any configuration space registers or that
it does not have BAR registers?  If it has BAR registers in config
space, do they respond to config cycles in the convential manner or
are they in a fixed position?  Please clarify so we can help you.
