No, OS must know the peculiarities of the particular chipset. But also, it must know the intimate details of the BIOS operation, since several facilities perform background DMA transfers not under the OS control. Examples are USB legacy emulation, BMC working with the main memory, or UMA GPU in BIOS-configured mode. Normally, BIOS communicates the requirements of such facilities to OS using RMRR records in the DMAR table.Received on Thu Apr 09 2015 - 08:03:44 UTC
