Size:
This register provides extensions to the PCICMD1 register that are specific to PCI-PCI bridges.
The BCTRL provides additional control for the secondary interface (i.e., PCI Express) as well as
some bits that affect the overall behavior of the “virtual” Host-PCI Express bridge embedded
within (G)MCH (e.g., VGA compatible address ranges mapping).

Master Abort Mode (MAMODE): When acting as a master, unclaimed reads
that experience a master abort returns all 1s and any writes that experience a
master abort completes normally and the data is thrown away. Hardwired to 0.

VGA 16-bit Decode: This bit enables the PCI-to-PCI bridge to provide 16-bit
decoding of VGA I/O address precluding the decoding of alias addresses every 1
KB. This bit only has meaning if bit 3 (VGA Enable) of this register is also set to
1, enabling VGA I/O decoding and forwarding by the bridge.
0 = Execute 10-bit address decodes on VGA I/O accesses.
1 = Execute 16-bit address decodes on VGA I/O accesses.
R/W
0b
VGA Enable (VGAEN): This bit controls the routing of processor-initiated
transactions targeting VGA compatible I/O and memory address ranges. See the
VGAEN/MDAP table in Device 0, offset 97h[0].
