"no PAE support, no 64 bit support"
I'm slightly bewildered as to how these two can arise.
Did you actually have driver source? Surely so long as you control the driver you can ensure that all DMA is 32-bit, all memory mappings are remapped accordingly, and so on?
If you don't have any source, how do you get anything to work with Linux at all?

It was a binary driver. No source code. Unless you used mem=4G on the kernel command line, the machine would boot with a blank screen. We didn't look in to it too much because Intel told us that greater than 4G was required.
