Subject: [PATCH] x86/PCI: limit the size of the 64bit BAR to 256GB

Xen hides a bit of system memory from the OS for its own purpose by
intercepting e820. This memory is unfortunately not reported as
reserved, but rather completely invisible.

Avoid this address space collision and possible similar problems by
limiting the size of the newly allocated root hub window to 256GB which
should be sufficient for the short term.
