Hm. isn't there something in the specs, that a 64bit bus will be degraded to 
32bit, if there are 32bit cards present? So this 64bit stuff would not be too

I'll try to find the time to get the version (uhm, FreeBSD-cvs mirror at home, 
no problem so :) and screw it in. Hope to get my tests done with all puzzle

Hope to be able to bring a "final version" of the patch soon.
