In general, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_TYPE_64 should be set if the BAR is
64 bits wide.  IORESOURCE_MEM_64 is similar.

It doesn't matter what the current value of the BAR is.

It's easy to look at the current address or size of a resource if we
need to know where it is or how big it is.  But if we lose track of
the width of the BAR register, we have no way to know whether it's
*capable* of holding a 64-bit value.
