- * AMD Fam10h CPUs are buggy, and cannot access MMIO config space
- * on their northbrige except through the * %eax register. As such, you MUST
- * NOT use normal IOMEM accesses, you need to only use the magic mmio-config
- * accessor functions.
- * In fact just use pci_config_*, nothing else please.
+ * On AMD Fam10h CPUs, all PCI MMIO configuration space accesses must use
+ * %eax. No other source or target registers may be used. The following
+ * mmio_config_* accessors enforce this. See "BIOS and Kernel Developer's
+ * Guide (BKDG) For AMD Family 10h Processors", rev. 3.48, sec 2.11.1,
+ * "MMIO Configuration Coding Requirements".
