To save you some time in trying to debug things which didn't work
before this patchset, the status last time I tested on h/w was:
 * PCI MMIO accesses work
 * PCI IO accesses work
 * PCI bus-master (DMA) doesn't work

with the failure symptom for DMA being that the card wrote to
the correct area of memory but only every other word, so you
got strings like "HellXXXXrld" with the Xs being garbage.
This feels to me like a h/w issue rather than a driver problem.
