Processor Configuration Registers
2.10.17 PMBASE6—Prefetchable Memory Base Address Register
This register, in conjunction with the corresponding Upper Base Address register,
controls the processor to PCI Express-G prefetchable memory access routing based on
the following formula:
PREFETCHABLE_MEMORY_BASE  address  PREFETCHABLE_MEMORY_LIMIT
The upper 12 bits of this register are read/write and correspond to address bits
A[31:20] of the 40-bit address. The lower 8 bits of the Upper Base Address register are
read/write and correspond to address bits A[39:32] of the 40-bit address. This register
must be initialized by the configuration software. For the purpose of address decode,
address bits A[19:0] are assumed to be 0. Thus, the bottom of the defined memory
address range will be aligned to a 1 MB boundary.

Description
Prefetchable Memory Base Address (PMBASE)
This field corresponds to A[31:20] of the lower limit of the memory
range that will be passed to PCI Express-G.
64-bit Address Support (AS64)
This field indicates that the upper 32 bits of the prefetchable
memory region base address are contained in the Prefetchable
Memory base Upper Address register at 28h.
