It should work on amd64 -- the pci code has functions to handle 64-bit DMA,
doesn't it? -- the negotation of dual address cycle on parallel pci is
supposed to be magically handled behind the OS's back, I thought, and the
addresses just get wider, no?

It might be a lot more complicated with PAE, I don't know.
