ExecuteOpCode

0b
Write 1 to execute the transaction in the alternate program
registers. Write 0 has no effect. When the transaction is
complete, this bit will return 0. If the command is an illegal
command, the bit cannot be set and thereby cannot execute
registers. Write 0 has no effect. When the transaction is
complete, this bit will return 0. If the command is an illegal
command, the bit cannot be set and thereby cannot execute

If a MAC is sharing the ROM with the SB, both chips will need
to go through an arbitration process before either one can
access the ROM. This bit enables the arbitration. If MAC is not
sharing the SPI ROM, BIOS should set this bit to 0 to speed up
the SPI ROM access

Under ROM sharing mode (with the MAC) this defines the
amount of wait time this controller will assert HOLD# before it
should access the SPI ROM. This time is to allow the MAC to
sample HOLD#.

Field Name
Bits
Default
Description
RestrictedCmd0
7:0
00h
This defines a restricted command issued by the MAC which
will be checked by the SB600. If the opcode issued by the
MAC matches with this register and the address space is in the
BIOS space, this controller will simply ignore the command for
the case of bridge mode. For peer mode, the SPI controller will
jam the entire interface as an attempt to stop that transaction.
Note either SpiAccessMacRomEn and/or
SpiHostAccessRomEn bit is cleared, these registers become
read only and cannot be changed any more.
