Agreed. Property lists should be used where data exchange with userland is of primary concern, or where data are so variadic that the proplist overhead appears as the lesser evil. Besides that, the common pci code should not be bloated with code for dynamic address space management. We've got attachments which is a powerful tool to keep driver code modular without #ifdefs. Since ACPI uses pci buses as entities in its namespace, "pci@acpi" would be the natural implementation. best regards Matthias ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
