This sounds like your FPGA doesn't handle burst mode accesses correctly.
A logic analyzer will help you prove it.
Another quick test to try is using an unaligned transfer and see what
happens. The 83xx DMA controller handles unaligned transfers by doing
several small, non-burst transfers until the src and dst are aligned,
and then does cacheline size burst transfers until complete. I hunch the
85xx/86xx controller behaves the same way.
Something like this:
dma_src = dma_map_single(...);
dma_dst = pci_resource_start(pdev, 0) + 1;
Notice that the dst address is offset by one byte, so you'll need to
take that into account when comparing data after the transfer.
