I think you mainly care about DMA, which should do 64-bit access if the
DMA engines are made right.

Check out how the bios will support things. I don't think it's going to
like having parts of the card accessable to other PCI cards and not to the
host. Chances are its goign to want to do everything with a 32-bit address
space on the pci bus. I could be wrong, but check into it. :-)
