I currently have a user mode program modify the pci bus, but I can not push the user mode program to the bios for reasons I can't get in to. Currently I use this user mode program, then do a big hammer approach of a reboot to get the kernel to see the pci device. Is there a nicer way of doing this? Can someone kindly educate me.
