could you try to set '1' to DMA description bit3?

1. BAT2 in linux is set to WIMG=0010, and covers all
64M
2. PEX_DEVICE_CONTROL in PCI-E Config Space (0x54):
0x1020
3. PEX_xDMA_CTRL is set to 0x00000401 at the initiation
of the DMA.
4. OWAR0 is set to 0xFFFFF005, so NSNP is 0.
5. The DMA descriptor (randomly chosen when I hit a
trigger...just ignore the size...) contains 0002AFF3 at offset 0, so
nosnoops are cleared.
Core is 400MHz, and CSB is 133MHz.
