Description
PEG11 MDA Present (MDAP11)
This bit works with the VGA Enable bits in the BCTRL register of
Device 1 Function 1 to control the routing of processor initiated
transactions targeting MDA compatible I/O and memory address
ranges. This bit should not be set if Device 1 Function 1 VGA
Enable bit is not set.
If Device 1 Function 1 VGA enable bit is not set, then accesses to
I/O address range x3BCh-x3BFh remain on the backbone.
If the VGA enable bit is set and MDA is not present, then
accesses to I/O address range x3BCh-x3BFh are forwarded to PCI
Express* through Device 1 Function 1 if the address is within the
corresponding IOBASE and IOLIMIT, otherwise they remain on
the backbone.
MDA resources are defined as the following:
Memory: 0B0000h–0B7FFFh
I/O:
3B4h, 3B5h, 3B8h, 3B9h, 3BAh, 3BFh,
(including ISA address aliases, A[15:10] are not
used in decode)

Any I/O reference that includes the I/O locations listed above, or
their aliases, will remain on the backbone even if the reference
also includes I/O locations not listed above.
The following table shows the behavior for all combinations of
MDA and VGA:

VGA and MDA memory cycles can only be routed across PEG11
when MAE (PCICMD11[1]) is set. VGA and MDA I/O cycles can
only be routed across PEG11 if IOAE (PCICMD11[0]) is set.
