Ok, then this explains the failure if the "raw" addresses are above 4G.  I have
access to an emag I'm currently using to test fixes to pci_host_generic.c to
avoid corrupting struct resource objects.  I'll post the diff once I've got
something verified to work.

No, the physical register in PCI-PCI bridges is only 32-bits.  Only the
prefetchable BAR supports 64-bit addresses.  This is why the host bridge
is doing a translation from the CPU side (0x600000000) to the PCI BAR
addresses (0xc0000000) so that the BAR addresses are down in the 32-bit
address range.  It's also true that many PCI devices only support 32-bit
addresses in memory BARs.  64-bit BARs are an optional extension not
universally supported.

The translation here is somewhat akin to a type of MMU where the CPU
addresses are mapped to PCI addresses.  The problem here is that the
PCI BAR resources need to "stay" as PCI addresses since we depend on
being able to use rman_get_start/end to get the PCI addresses of
allocated resources, but pci_host_generic.c currently rewrites the
addresses.

Probably I should remove rman_set_start/end entirely (Warner added them
back in 2004) as the methods don't do anything to deal with the fallout
that the rman.rm_list linked-list is no longer sorted by address once
some addresses get rewritten, etc.
