MemMap_Legacy<br />

The DOS area is 640 KB (0000_0000h – 0009_FFFFh) in size and is always mapped to the main<br />

memory controlled by the (G)MCH.<br />

9.1.2 Legacy Video Area (A_0000h–B_FFFFh)<br />

The legacy 128-KB VGA memory range, frame buffer, (000A_0000h – 000B_FFFFh) can be<br />

mapped to IGD (Device 2), to PCI <strong>Express</strong> (Device 1), and/or to the DMI. The appropriate<br />

mapping depends on which devices are enabled and the programming of the VGA steering bits.<br />

Based on the VGA steering bits, priority for VGA mapping is constant. The (G)MCH always<br />

decodes internally mapped devices first. Internal to the GMCH, decode precedence is always<br />

given to IGD. The (G)MCH always positively decodes internally mapped devices, namely the<br />

IGD and PCI <strong>Express</strong>. Subsequent decoding of regions mapped to PCI <strong>Express</strong> or the DMI<br />

depends on the Legacy VGA configuration bits (VGA Enable and MDAP); see the LAC register<br />

(Device 0, offset 97h). This region is also the default for SMM space.
