has been extended to include ‘readb/readw/readl and writeb/writew/writel’ functions.
The PCI BIOS also includes extensions to perform DMA transfers, and to manage the DPRAM. Drivers may request a transfer using shared DPRAM. Drivers for high bandwidth devices may request a private and permanent allocation of the DPRAM. The DMA mechanism allows the device driver to block or not until the requested transfer(s) have completed. The PCI BIOS uses interrupt driven code to manage the request queues.
