It's a configurable IP block, so one would assume that if it was
configured with a 64bit FIFO width on ARM then your SoC integration
engineers dropped the ball.

Even on architectures that can do 64bit MMIO, I would expect there to
be systems where that is not safe in practice (e.g. 32bit bus fabric
that will translate a 64bit access into 2 32bit accesses) so I don't
know if it's ideal to make this an architecture level config symbol.
