If you are thinking of calling ioport_map Okay, that was one of the 'legacy reasons'. Certainly lots of drivers do call pci_iomap, but if you think legacy drivers that don't are important to ARM64 then it makes sense to use the virtual IO window. > for every PCI device that has an I/O BAR and storing the virtual > address in the pci_dev resource, I don't see what that gains us Mainly we get to drop the fancy dynamic allocation stuff for the fixed virtual window, and it gives the option to have a 1:1 relationship between CPU addresses and PCI BARs. > in terms of complexity, and it will also break /dev/port. Yes, /dev/port needs updating, it would need to iomap (arguably it probably should be doing that already anyhow), and the hardwired limit of 65536 needs to be replaced with the arch's IO limit, but those do not seem to be fundemental problems with the UAPI??
