+The Prometheus does not support repeating of PCI transations, instead if the

+The system may run out of kernel virtual memory space if Prometheus is present.

+code places User Page Table base address at statically defined address
+0x10000000, which does not leave enough kernel space to fit a 512MB board, such

+It is possible to work around this problem, by moving User Page Table base
+to higher address.
