Re: [Qemu-devel] [V3 3/4] hw/i386: ACPI table for AMD IO MMU

[David kiarie]

Hi all,

I think, from coreboot code, the MMIO reservation is done through an
MCFG table. I can't see one in Qemu but I don't have a clue how to
extend it. There's literally nothing about MCFG online neither do I
have an org that's a member of pcisig.

Could someone have the docs describing MCFG ?
