Bingo! FW quirk.

Once the reserved memory range is extended, I am finally able
to read large partitions:

# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M
55256+0 records in
55256+0 records out
57940115456 bytes (58 GB, 54 GiB) copied, 786.165 s, 73.7 MB/s

Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions and guidance.

Regards.
