I didn't fully understand your comment, please let me explain:
A PCI Device issues a transaction to an unassigned address,
which is in a range corresponding to a bridge on some "upper"
(close to CPU) bus.
The region that will "catch" this access is a background region
"behind" the "target" memory region (bus_master_enable_region).
At this point we know:
1. The PCI device that initiated the transaction
2. The transaction's address
I was suggesting an algorithm to find the MA device in order
to set MA Received Bit in its Status(Sec_Status) register.
The algorithm was to traverse the PCI buses for finding the
MA device using the transaction address.
