That's what it looks like.  pSeries does isolation when a bad DMA is
attempted through EEH.

>From what I can see on your setup, it looks good.  Here's a couple
things to check:

- Passing the correct endiness on your DMA handle to the adapter. 

- If you had a real old version of firmware on the 630, there was a
problem w/ PCI-2-PCI bridges that we hit on a 2.4 kernel (I can't
remember the details).  Turn on Linux Compatibility Mode from the
Service Processor Menus.  Here's a link:
