It's the lseek that fails: Obviously, /dev/mem is not seekable.
What really puzzles me is that dd _does_ work on /dev/mem when
looking at ordinary RAM, but I'm reluctant to further debug why.

But anyhow, as I think it may at times be also useful for others
to have a simple tool that allows to read (and write!) PCI memory,
I share the few lines of code that I wrote to fulfill my needs. I
hope that the included "documentation" is verbose enough. And I'm
certainly interested if anyone finds bugs :-):
