It's been my experience that the TIGON cards take a 32 bit
DMA target address, not a 64 bit DMA target address, and
that the 54 bit width was only used for the data transfer,
not for the address offset.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and 64 bit PCI cards can in fact
DMA at offsets above 4G, in the physical address space...
