Is there a utility that does peeks and pokes to PCIe devices. I'm 
developing an FPGA with a PCIe interface and I'd like to do some simple 
memory accesses before I move on to the more complicated things like DMA. 
We have a driver in development but I think there is a standard Altera 
driver already in the kernel which I assume would be good enough for 
simple accesses.

I'm running on Scientific Linux 6.1.

lspci identifies the device as an Altera device which is correct.
