+ * In this function there is a provision to shrink the potential PCI address

+ * Without this the PCI address space attempts to reserve roughly all 32-bit

+ * instead of above it. When allocated below the fixed resource window it

+ * causing all PCI devices to become unusable!
+ *
+ * This bug is only exposed when the top of system RAM touches the bottom of
+ * the fixed resource window. If less than ~3.5GB of memory is installed there
+ * is a gap between system RAM and the fixed resource window which protects
+ * the incorrectly allocated PCI configuration registers and hides this bug.
