Actually, as we just discovered with one of the pci_dw drivers, it may
be the wrong number: what you program in the ATR registers is not
necessarily the same as the address visible to the CPU. What you need
instead is the address at the bus immediately above the PCI host bridge.

I think for now we can leave out this part from common code and add
the infrastructure later. Host drivers can have their own loop
around the ranges if they need to set up these registers. Ideally
at least on arm64, they should be set up by the firmware already.
