I've checked the memory base registers.
A memory base register return bit set to zero 0 and bit2/1 tell
the width (00 = 32bit, 10 = 64bit).
I don't know if this is a shure indicator.

But there are cards that definitive can't without replacement.
E.g. USB OHCI controllers are defined with 32bit DMA registers.
