hi,all
I am reading code about pci, and I can't understand some lines in
pci_check_direct(), in arch/i386/kernel/pci-pc.c
well, I wonder why "outb (0x01, 0xCFB);" if check configuration type 1 ? and
why
"outb (0x00, 0xCFB);" if check configuration type 2?
please help me,thanks a lot

408 unsigned int tmp;

412
413 /*
414 * Check if configuration type 1 works.
415 */
416 if (pci_probe & PCI_PROBE_CONF1) {
417 outb (0x01, 0xCFB);
418 tmp = inl (0xCF8);
419 outl (0x80000000, 0xCF8);
420 if (inl (0xCF8) == 0x80000000 &&
421 pci_sanity_check(&pci_direct_conf1)) {
