I was able to drop the patch, please resend.

Yuk, what an ugly API..

I think this is the wrong one. I would expect all PCI-E devices should
use lo-hi, eg writes are done in address increasing order on the bus.

This is what the PCI-E spec would require if a write were to be
fragmented so I would expect devices to handle it properly.

Steve? Any idea of specific things for this HW?
