These registers define forwarding address ranges for downstream or upstream I/O or memory transactions. After reset, they are disabled and return all zeros when read.

This register can request a 64, 128, or 256 bytes I/O space. Hardware does not restrict larger I/O windows or 4 KB to 2 GB. To configure a space use serial preloading or program the Downstream I/O or Memory 1 Setup register or Upstream I/O or Memory 0 Setup register.

Access of the setup registers must be through the local processor before the Primary Lockout Reset Value bit is cleared.
