The PCI resource code uses full 32 bit integers when it handles IO
addresses, so this actually does sort of work out.

However, Thomas how did you recover the high bits of the
IO window address from the bridge configuration? Are you reading the
struct resource directly? That probably causes problems with
hotplug/etc...

If you look back in your old emails I outlined a solution to this
using the MMU.
