Yes, it's not a card, but an on board chip.

Yes, the message I get is

safe0 mem 0xf6120000-0xf6121fff irq 22 at device 10.0 on pci0
safe0: cannot allocate DMA tag
device_attach: safe0 attach returned 6

but the machine remains stable, with no panic. But I still get the
"cannot allocate DMA tag" error that I got when the safenet is
compiled in.

I am not sure if this is normal and I can put the machine live.

I am trying in that direction also, at least to understand why I am
getting the panic and file a meaning full PR.
