Synopsis: unprivileged PCI config space access considered harmful

State-Changed-From-To: feedback->closed
State-Changed-By: dholland%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 23:10:41 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
I don't think we have a persuasive use case for unprivileged PCI
configuration reads... and from the scuttlebutt I've heard over the
years I rather doubt it's possible to make it safe for all broken
motherboards.
