Why problematical? It's just the way how linux has always dealt with 64-bit BARs - put everything below 4G in the bus address space, on *any* architecture. I'd be quite surprised if some firmware doesn't do the same thing - so far I haven't heard any complaints. Eventually we'll have to support MMIO above 4G, but I suspect this won't be necessary at least in a next couple of years. Anyway, there are no fundamental changes required for the generic PCI layer to handle that, just some tweaks here and there - almost all non-trivial stuff will be arch-specific.

Just use pci_update_resource().
John, I'd also suggest following changes to the patch: - move the code to pci_set_power_state(), where it belongs to; - explicitly check for D3hot->D0 transition *and* for the No_Soft_Reset bit, to avoid unnecessary config space accesses; - add a quote from PCI spec (as a comment) explaining why is it needed.
