By default I thought firmware puts everything (well, squeezes) into
the lower 32bit. Maybe they stopped doing that. So when we want the
full bar (for discrete at least) we need to resize it and put it
somewhere in the 64bit range above end of system memory.

So I guess correct phrasing is "we will resize it" :-)
