Sir ,i am still puzzled by the windows and freebsd arch similar. 1 the window TPS say that windwo allocate the resource window in default size of 1M or 2M,so there may be hole ,does that happen in freebsd 5 or 6? 2 in my view i believe that freebsd us the "just enough "tactics,so the nexus level of resource view is =3D=3D=3Dcontinuous=3D=3D=3D=3Dwith NO = hole in a boot up system, IF hot remove do not happen .am i right? 3 IF i do a PCI hotplug under a bridge, and the bridge 's MEM Window is full ,i have to do reballacne (including use the device_pause method:)), and if i can not declaim the resource from other bridge because "nexus level of resource view is =3D=3D=3Dcontinuous=3D=3D=3D=3Dwit= h NO hole ", can i extend the physical address space beyond the boot time locate range to PCI host bridge ?
