I have some questions:
1 - Which is the right kernel interface to use for 64 bit PCI and how must I use it for accessing the address registers of this PCI device. 2 - How much ready for 64 bit bit devices is Linux ?
It's not going to work, I know for one thing that on the Alpha port for one. Another can of worms is whether PC bios's setup the 64-bit registers properly.
Take a look at the PCI bios fixup code for Alpha, and where they detect 64-bit PCI base address registers which need assignment, they just ignore them completely last time I checked.
