It's worth mentioning that I had some troubles on my Salvator-X board
with some cards not being able to link up. Since my board has a socketed chip
and the board was designed for it not to be via a socket, and this is such a low
level functionality, I think this is HW related. My Intel Gigabit CT Desktop card
always works.
Also note that this PCIe controller only supports a 32-bit AXI address range,
so you need to limit memory to within the 4GiB address space. As far as I am
aware, there is no way to limit the dma mask that card drivers use via the
controller. The plan is to add support this via IOMMU.

It avoids the problem, but I have a proper fix in the pipeline which just needs
more testing.

Thanks
