Actually I think you're hitting a bug in pci_map_page() rather than in
the acenic.driver.
Try the patch from Ben LaHaise included below.

Hello all,
There's a missing cast in pci_map_page that causes 64 bit capable
drivers to access the wrong memory for highmem pages. Please
include the patch below to fix it.
