Because it's a hardware property.

The error means a single bar needed 4GB or more of address
space, btw.  Sounds like something is wrong :-)

No. BARs are 64-bit or not, there's no way to change that.
It doesn't matter however; if the top half of a 64-bit BAR
is set to zeroes, it works fine on a 32-bit system.
