Mmmm ...
Still I use the intel eepro driver without problems or modifications.
As long as the driver uses the proper readl/writel that should do
it or am I mistaken ?

I have a FPGA mounted with pci interface, I'll try to see what happens on
the bus

Last time I checked, the 2.4 from denx didn't create a pci
window for prefetchable memory so prefetch mem zone
were mapped as non-prefetchable, so no burst for sure.
