 The BCM1250A's PCI is obviously 32-bit only (the host bridge is
explicitly documented not to support DACs), but you need to use 64-bit
addressing to access the whole 4GB range -- the bus is decoded starting
from 0xf800000000 and 0xf900000000, with a different byte lane swapping
policy for each of these areas.  For limited access for 32-bit software,
you can use alternate mappings at 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, but they
provide only 512MB of space each.

 I don't think something like DACs exists for HT.
