4.1.2 Reserved and Undefined Addresses
Any PCI or PCI-X register address space not explicitly declared in this specification should be
considered to be reserved, and should not be written. Writing to reserved or undefined
configuration register addresses can cause indeterminate behavior. Reads from reserved or
undefined configuration register addresses can return indeterminate values.

The value of this register depends on the DMCR_Map and Max_Read bits
in the EEPROM’s Initialization Control Word 2 (see Section 5.6.12).
DMCR_Map = 0b:
The value of this register reflects the number of bytes programmed in the
Maximum Memory Read Byte Count (MMRBC) field of the PCI-X
Command Register as follows:
MMRBC = 0 (512) - DMCRS = 0 (1KB)
MMRBC = 1 (1K) - DMCRS = 0 (1KB)
MMRBC = 2 (2K) - DMCRS = 1 (2KB)
MMRBC = 3 (4K) - DMCRS = 2 (4KB)
DMCR_Map = 1b and Max_Read = 0b: DMCRS = 1 (2KB)
DMCR_Map = 1b and Max_Read = 1b: DMCRS = 2 (4KB)
