ENTRY TYPE 0 8 Entry type 129 identifies a Bus Hierarchy Descriptor
Entry.
ENTRY LENGTH 1 8 A value of 8 indicates that this entry type is eight
bytes long.
BUS ID 2 8 The BUS ID identity of this bus. This number
corresponds to the BUS ID as defined in the base
table bus entry for this bus.
BUS INFORMATION:SD 3:0 1 Subtractive Decode Bus. If set, all addresses visible
on the parent bus but not claimed by another device
on the parent bus (including bridges to other
buses) are useable on this bus.
PARENT BUS 4 8 Parent Bus. This number corresponds to the BUS
ID as defined in the base table bus entry for the
parent bus of this bus
For buses where the BUS INFORMATION:SD bit is set, System Address Mappings may not be
needed. Since the bus is defined as being subtractive decode, the range of addresses that appear on
the bus can be derived from address decoding information for parent and peer buses.
