Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] [solved] Guest cannot handle a PCI BAR > 1GB

It seems it was the alignment value being passed back from
pci_resource_alignment().  The return type is an int, which was
causing value of 2GB to be sign extended to to 0xffffffff80000000.
Changing the return type to resource_size_t allows BAR values >= 2GB
to be successfully assigned.
