You can't do this. The pci_resource_start is getting the address of
something called a Bus Address Register (BAR) it says in physical
address space where the card is responding ... you can't simply set that
to a random value.
The problem you seem to have is that your system is reporting a BAR
beyond 32 bits (4GB) which the card physically can't use. This could be
because of a BIOS misconfiguration or because there's a bug in the PCI
subsystem somewhere.
