TOP POSTER!

But yeah on a bus level it clearly needs to be limited to 32 bits, but
ISTR that some arches use the high resource bits for tracking I/O
resources on a systemwide basis (too lazy to look atm).

So either we need to split the definition between bus & resource usage,
or add a cast here...
