When using the mixed priority scheme, the encoding of this field is shown
in the following table.
POL Park on lock. If set, the PCI Arbiter will park the bus on
the master that successfully obtains a PCI bus lock. The
PCI Arbiter keeps the locking master parked and does not
allow any non-locked masters to obtain access of the PCI
bus until the locking master releases the lock. If this bit is
cleared, the PCI Arbiter does not distinguish between
locked and non-locked cycles.
ENA Enable. This read only bit indicates the enabled state of
the PCI Arbiter. If set, the PCI Arbiter is enabled and is
acting as the system arbiter. If cleared, the PCI Arbiter is
disabled and external logic is implementing the system
arbiter. Please refer to the section titled PHB Hardware
Configuration for more information on ho w this bit gets
set.
