IIRC some Altix boxes don't support 32 bit DMA for PCI-X devices. Based
on the initialization code I looked at (just a quick scan), it looks
like the command packet initialization is done before the switch to a 64
bit DMA mask, which might cause the failure you see here. You can try
this patch out (totally untested). It's not fully correct, it should
probably try 64 bit first then fall back to 32 bit if that fails then
give up, and the other 64 bit DMA mask call should probably be removed.
Anyway, good luck. If this one doesn't work you'll have to talk with one
of the SGI guys and get some more debug info about the allocation
failure for the command packets.
