4.5.1
DMI Configuration Accesses
Accesses to disabled (G)MCH internal devices, bus numbers not claimed by the Host-
PCI Express bridge, or PCI Bus 0 devices not part of the (G)MCH will subtractively
decode to the ICH10/ICH7 and consequently be forwarded over the DMI via a PCI
Express configuration TLP.
If the Bus Number is zero, the (G)MCH will generate a Type 0 Configuration Cycle TLP
on DMI. If the Bus Number is non-zero, and falls outside the range claimed by the
Host-PCI Express bridge, the (G)MCH will generate a Type 1 Configuration Cycle TLP on
DMI.
The ICH10/ICH7 routes configurations accesses in a manner similar to the (G)MCH. The
ICH10/ICH7 decodes the configuration TLP and generates a corresponding
configuration access. Accesses targeting a device on PCI Bus 0 may be claimed by an
internal device. The ICH10/ICH7 compares the non-zero Bus Number with the
Secondary Bus Number and Subordinate Bus Number registers of its PCI-to-PCI
bridges to determine if the configuration access is meant for Primary PCI, or some
other downstream PCI bus or PCI Express link.
Configuration accesses that are forwarded to the ICH10/ICH7, but remain unclaimed by
any device or bridge will result in a master abort.
I/O Mapped Registers
The (G)MCH contains two registers that reside in the processor I/O address space − the
Configuration Address (CONFIG_ADDRESS) Register and the Configuration Data
(CONFIG_DATA) Register. The Configuration Address Register enables/disables the
configuration space and determines what portion of configuration space is visible
through the Configuration Data window.

32 bits
CONFIG_ADDRESS is a 32-bit register that can be accessed only as a DWord. A Byte or
Word reference will "pass through" the Configuration Address Register and DMI onto
the Primary PCI bus as an I/O cycle. The CONFIG_ADDRESS register contains the Bus
Number, Device Number, Function Number, and Register Number for which a
subsequent configuration access is intended.
