check & reprogram PCI BAR



Hi!

I have a bge(4) the BIOS programs its PCI BAR0 to 184TB
which leads to the following panic at boot:


bge0 at pci8 dev 4 function 0: Broadcom BCM5714/5715 Gigabit Ethernet
extent_alloc_region: extent `iomem' (0x0 - 0xffffffff)
extent_alloc_region: start 0xf3ed988fd8410000, end 0xf3ed988fd841ffff
panic: extent_alloc_region: region lies outside extent
fatal breakpoint trap in supervisor mode

pci_mapreg_map() at netbsd:pci_mapreg_map+0x2e
bge_attach() at netbsd:bge_attach+0x181
[...]


Hence I think, we need to check the PCI BARs if they are
within the range of DMA-safe memory.
If they are not then reprogram the PCI BARs properly.

I would like to get some ideas how this should be done
in NetBSD. Any ideas ?
