64 bit archs safe?64 bit archs safe?Posted Oct 23, 2008 12:03 UTC (Thu) by nevets (subscriber, #11875)In reply to: 64 bit archs safe? by zdzichu Parent article: The source of the e1000e corruption bug So those of us running x86_64 kernels were safe? Yes, those running on x86_64 were safe from this bug because the init code and the NVM never shared the same address space. What about other 64bit architectures with PCI-Express bus? I will not say yes for sure. But most likely. The mapping of iospace is arch specific. But I don't see why a 64bit address space arch would share the iospace with anything els.
