Misunderstood you, with this patch there will be the same behavior, that's the intention. There might be slightly differences in ordering rules for read/write cycles. IO config cycles are serialized while ordering rules for MMIO config cycles may result in unexpected behavior for PCI devices on the bus. -Robert -- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
