Oh! That sounds like a really big show stopper for a lot of PCIe devices.

Pretty much all 32bit devices are impossible to work with that.

If I'm not completely mistaken that even makes the platform non-PCIe spec 
complaint.

Over all the approach looks sane to me, but the radeon patch needs some changes.

Going to comment on the patch itself.
