Hi Greg,
I was curious about your comment regarding "everything". Is it
possible to dynamically add/remove entire I/O sub-trees on the PCIe
side? In other words, can a PCIe bridge, and all associated
sub-branches be dynamically added/removed? If so, is there special
BIOS support required for possibly reserving adequate MMIO address
space?
Thanks,
Eric
