Are you sure this isn't caused by using I/O instructions instead memory
mapped I/O.  This was a common problem on a few steppings of the P6 and
was one of the main reasons I initially added memory mapped I/O support.

I've never had anyone report PCI parity errors like this with the FreeBSD
driver when using memory mapped I/O.
