Unfortunately I no longer have access to the systems so I can't really
confirm.  I had a debug tool that attempted to read PCI device registers
through /dev/mem, and on these systems (which were running a 8.2
derivative) the reads from /dev/mem failed with some kind of error.

The one detail that I do remember is that the errors started happening
after we enabled the use of 64-bit BARs in the BIOS and the addresses
assigned to the BARs were quite large -- I believe well beyond the bounds
of real memory.
