Just have a closer look at https://github.com/aik/SLOF/commit/9633e036
and you'll note what's wrong with the code: Initially, all PCI bridge
prefetchable memory base registers were programmed with the value from
pci-next-mem and the limit registers with the value from pci-max-mem.

After that patch, the upper bits were programmed with pci-next-mem64 and
pci-max-mem64, while the lower bits were still programmed with
pci-next-mem and pci-max-mem! A complete mess, I wonder why this did not
cause any trouble before (well, likely because hardly anybody tested PCI
bridges before)...

I think we really should clean that up ... so would you be willing to
accept my patch if I add some more comments to the code there?
