The second problem is uglier, and I'm not quite sure what's the best way
to fix it yet: The first BAR of the VGA device is a 32-bit prefetchable
BAR, which is initialized via assign-mem32-bar and thus using the value
from pci-next-mem. Now the bridge has only two windows, one for 64-bit
prefetchable memory (configured via pci-next-mem64 here), and one for
32-bit non-prefetchable memory (configured via pci-next-mmio). So the
VGA device ends up with a memory region that is not covered by the bridge.

Should we maybe rather configure 32-bit prefetchable BARs via
pci-next-mmio instead of pci-next-mem if the 64-bit pci-next-mem64 is
available and used for bridges? Or has anybody any other suggestions how
to fix this properly?
