Should not be dangerous, just second try.

For example, at first mmio is assigned (by firmware), but pref mmio fails,
then before second try, mmio get cleared, then we could separate
mmio and mmio pref. So need to try again for pref mmio.
Also I missed one MEM_64 for hotplug path.
So we need two patches.
Thanks
