hi LKML

There is an on-going development in bugzilla for a patch to move on in
another direction for people who want to play with 64bits PCI BAR on
32bit.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88131

But I send the patch out here to solicit comments for a sable way to
play with pci devices on modern 64bit machine which usually features
64bit BAR in a stable 32bit kernel.

The patch attached forced the BAR memory resource allocation back to
32bit adress space in acpi root bridge case, then xhci and ixgbe works
every well based on my testing. So I think it's not necessary to use
64Bit BAR in 32bit kernel for stable reason.

Thanks /l
