To be pedantic, the PCIe controller isn't really CPU specific. It's host bus specific. ie the PCI-e controller is a bridge between whatever chipset defines the "cache coherency domain" and the PCI-e devices.

no problem...I suspect you need to figure out why DTL-MMIO isn't working. I have never touched DTL and can't be of much help with that.
