It's easier then this - as Avi indicated, one can turn _CRS into a
method which returns the current info with the PCI size filled in at
runtime. Something like:
Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) {
Name (TMP, ResourceTemplate ()
{
...
})
CreateDWordField (TMPM, 0x123, TMP)
Store (TMPM, PCIM)
Return (TMP)
}
This is already done for other devices - see \SB.LNKS._CRS. For this
to work, the new variable PCIM needs to be set to the size of the PCI
region, which can be populated in the SSDT when it is built by
SeaBIOS.
As Jan points out though, is a dynamic PCI region really needed?
Those that need a large PCI region are also likely to need a large
amount of memory. Maybe the space for PCI should just be increased.
