Unless someone plans to plug an acenic, a 83820 (pci-e gem board, anyone ?)
on top of a pci <-> pci-e adapter on this kind of motherboard, no other
network driver that uses the pci_... dma api exhibits this mixed 32 / 64 bit
support bug. I haven't checked devices with 32 < mask < 64 nor plain DMA api
converted ones.
