H'm.... 64-bit support comes through in multiple places.
I wonder if it's just one of them?
- HBA memory-mapped registers (which are in fact limited to 32 bits)
- Port x command list base address
- Port x FIS base address
- Command table base address (command header, offset 8)
- Data base address (physical region descriptor, offset 0)
What we really care about is that the data physical regions can
be anywhere in 64-bit space. If any of the others were limited to
32 bits, that would only be slightly annoying.
But...
The base addresses are already above 4G. Aobve 8G, actually.
Port 0 base addresses: 02 1f1e 0000, 02 1f1e 0400
Port 1 base addresses: 02 1f1a 0000, 02 1f1a 0400
Port 2 base addresses: 02 1f98 0000, 02 1f98 0400
Port 3 base addresses: 02 1f9e 0000, 02 1f9e 0400
