Well, looking at it Cavium seems quite different, 

On read they need to trigger the retrieval of the
config space info writing to the lower 32b of a 64b register,
then they need to read data back on the upper 64b of the
same register and adjust the content to remove the garbage...

We just use 32b accesses and adjust grab the appropriate
bytes depending on the read/write sizes...
