And this problem rises only if the mvme6100 is used as a
system controller.   It will be fine if it's used a non system
controller.

No, that is incorrect. The problem relates to the onboard interface
between the CPU, its local PCI bus and the PCI to VME bridge chip; it is
not at all related to whether the VME interface chip is acting as the
VMEbus system controller or not.
