Table 50. Downstream I/O Address and Upstream I/O Address Registers

The Downstream I/O Address register is used for I/O transactions to be initiated on the secondary bus, and the Upstream I/O Address register is used for I/O transactions to be initiated on the primary bus. The downstream register can be written from the primary interface only and the upstream register can be written from the secondary interface only.
