RE: [ntfsd] PCI Flash memory



Chuck,

Assuming there’s not a simpler way (like removing the code, assuming it’s in
your flash, that does the ‘unmapping’), you could try the following:

Add a memory resource in IRP_MN_FILTER_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS (easier said
than done… the IO_LISTS are an exercise in data structure manipulation, ie
‘tricky’…). Then both a raw and translated address will be passed in the
list to IRP_MN_START_DEVICE. Program the ‘raw’ value into config space
0x30, use the ‘translated’ value to set up a mapping. You should also
adjust the IRP_MN_START_DEVICE lists to remove that resource before passing
it down the stack.

See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q253/2/32.ASP for how
to program the config space.
