What are you checking against to cause a failure and what do you do on
failure? I'm guessing that PCI masks are compared to the mask of
parent bridges and PCI devices just set the mask to 32-bit if 64-bit
fails. That doesn't work if your mask needs to be somewhere between 32
and 64-bit due to some bus constraints. Perhaps that's not something
we need to worry about until we see hardware with that condition.
