Hi,

this document about SoC BCM5365P, not about PCI device with PCI to SSB bridge.
I know in SoC`s like BSM5365 (I test it in BCM5354 and BCM5836) core switching 
is not required.

BCM5354 - http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mips/2009-June/000421.html
BCM5836 - 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mips/2010-February/000635.html

With PCI device, when device report memory window 0xf4000000-0xf4003fff, why we 
can`t use full window?

May be You can test your code without core switching?
