I've dealt with a very similar system architecture^(1). The main lesson I learned from this was to always use a non-transparent PCI-PCI bridge. In your case, I presume that this is a fixed system design, and you don't have to make every device driver in the Linux kernel work. You might consider writing a special purpose allocator and modifying the individual drivers you require to use it.
