Ok, sorry I missed this.  Yes, this is getting called, but when we get
back to pci_setup_bridge() that flag is missing IORESOURCE_MEM_64.
Perhaps these are different resources?  I'm still tracing the code to
find out what happened to that flag.

Also, I'm running 64bit(x86_64), and if lspci is wrong, then so is
setpci.  I don't think there's an "ignore upper32" anywhere, so the
result of 0xffffffffabc00000 - 0x00000000abc00000 is that base > limit
thus the range is disabled at the bridge and the ROM resource we
assigned into the window behind the bridge is inaccessible.
