Mark,

Thanks for the note and the suggestion to check for BIOS settings.  It looks 
like if we tell the BIOS not to assign memory BARs beyond 4GB, we can access 
the card.  I haven't debugged why or whether there's a software workaround to 
avoid the need for a custom BIOS setting on every unit, but this is a huge help.

Also, we put another X520-SR2 card in a Dell R410 it got through driver 
initialization just fine.  Looking at lspci output there I noticed that the 
memory regions were all 32-bits or less and that pointed to the BIOS setting.

Thanks all,
Eric
