Hmm, I thought the mailbox reordering bug was avoided by limiting
DMA address space to 32bits but it seems it was not right workaround
for AMD 8131 PCI-X Bridge.

Try attached patch and let me know how it goes.
I didn't enable 64bit DMA addressing though. I think the AMD-8131
PCI-X bridge needs both workarounds.
