[PATCH v3 4/6] powerpc/powernv: replace the hard coded boundary with gate

At the moment 64bit-prefetchable window can be maximum 64GB, which is
currently got from device tree. This means that in shared mode the maximum
supported VF BAR size is 64GB/256=256MB. While this size could exhaust the
whole 64bit-prefetchable window. This is a design decision to set a
boundary to 64MB of the VF BAR size. Since VF BAR size with 64MB would
occupy a quarter of the 64bit-prefetchable window, this is affordable.

This patch replaces magic limit of 64MB with (m64_segsize >> 1) and adds
comment to explain the reason for it.
