    There might be another reason.  This driver seems to be another subject to 
the 440-specific PCI memory space issue beacuse it uses 'unsigned long' to 
store the PCI memory physical addresses and those are 64-bit in the 440 
arch/powerpc/ kernels.

    Yes, the driver needs fixing -- at least that.

    Now you know of at least one.

    Here, the PCI resources have been re-assigned by arch/ppc/ kernel, and are 
confined to 4 GB due to fixup_bigphys_addr() trick used for 440...

    That's beyond 4 GB, seems correct. That should be the address assigned by 
bootloader? BTW, what's your bootloader, U-Boot?

    Hm... what could this mean? Could you post the result of 'lspci -x'?

    Well, not only this...
