I just looked at the new X server (www.freedesktop.org). Its still using the mmap(/dev/mem) hack and doesnt understand pci domains but the good news is its _much_ simpler than XFree86 and we stand a good chance of fixing it properly. Really we need to fix libpci to understand pci domains (I just looked into it, we really should add a domain field into /proc/bus/pci/devices). If we also write libpci wrappers for the /proc/bus/pci ioctl code that should solve all our problems. Im not attached to any particular method of getting at this info (/proc/bus/pci vs willy's sysfs stuff) but we need to have it all abstracted by libpci or our lives will suck the next time we make an interface change.
