This can be done fairly simple by:
1. Bumping Version register content.
2. Adding two registers: QueueAddrLow (0x44) and QueueAddrHigh (0x48).
3. Describing the QueuePFN as obsolete.

Than the driver would just use Addr or PFN depending on the device's
version.

I can do that, but not this year (on holiday from Friday 16th, without
any access to Internet whatsoever :-) One think to be decided is in what
order the halfs should be filled? Low first, then high? High then low?
Does it matter at all? :-)

Cheers!
