Bitfields for Intel 82439TX/82443BX Extended SMRAM Control register:
Bit(s) Description )
7 SMRAM location
=0 compatible SMRAM space at segment A000h
=1 high SMRAM space at addreses 100A0000h to 100FFFFFh (accessing
physical DRAM addresses A0000h to FFFFFh)
6 (write-clear) access to extended SMRAM memory range when SMRAM space
is not open and not in SMM
5 enable write-through caching of SMRAM
(forced to 1 by 82443BX, to 0 by 82439TX)
4 enable L1 caching of SMRAM (forced to 1 by 82443BX)
3 enable L2 caching of SMRAM (forced to 1 by 82443BX)
2-1 TSEG size (read-only once SMRAM locked) (see #01123)
00 128K
01 256K
10 512K
11 1M
0 enable TSEG (read-only once SMRAM locked) (see #01123)
when both SMRAM and TSEG are enabled, the top N kilobytes of physical
DRAM are no longer claimed by the memory controller, and instead
appear as extended SMRAM at an address 256M higher than the physical
address
