1 /* Tests for presence or absence of hardware registers.
2 * This code was originally in atari/config.c, but I noticed
3 * that it was also in drivers/nubus/nubus.c and I wanted to
4 * use it in hp300/config.c, so it seemed sensible to pull it
5 * out into its own file.
7 * The test is for use when trying to read a hardware register
8 * that isn't present would cause a bus error. We set up a
9 * temporary handler so that this doesn't kill the kernel.
11 * There is a test-by-reading and a test-by-writing; I present
12 * them here complete with the comments from the original atari
14 * -- PMM <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>, 05/1998
17 /* This function tests for the presence of an address, specially a
18 * hardware register address. It is called very early in the kernel
19 * initialization process, when the VBR register isn't set up yet. On
20 * an Atari, it still points to address 0, which is unmapped. So a bus
21 * error would cause another bus error while fetching the exception
22 * vector, and the CPU would do nothing at all. So we needed to set up
23 * a temporary VBR and a vector table for the duration of the test.
