Memory regions are not bound to any current or future PCI
specifications. Any fixed bit width would be wrong here, ie. size should
rather be target_phys_addr_t.

The point is that different buses have different widths. target_phys_addr_t matches just one bus in the system. It needs to be the maximum size of all buses present to be useful.
