Seems to be target endianness from the corresponding Linux code:

        if (sge_count) {
                scsi_for_each_sg(scp, os_sgl, sge_count, i) {
                        mfi_sgl->sge32[i].length = sg_dma_len(os_sgl);
                        mfi_sgl->sge32[i].phys_addr = sg_dma_address(os_sgl);
                }
        }

...

        if (sge_count) {
                scsi_for_each_sg(scp, os_sgl, sge_count, i) {
                        mfi_sgl->sge64[i].length = sg_dma_len(os_sgl);
                        mfi_sgl->sge64[i].phys_addr = sg_dma_address(os_sgl);
                }
        }

Note that this is _either_ a ldq or a ldl depending on what the driver told
the device.  It is not accessing a 64-bit value as 32-bit.
