	this read is useless. I sent out the patch.

It looks like that overflow occurred. You need overflow patch.
As the size is huge, seabios can't map it.
Anyway even with overflow patch, the expected result is
to leave the bar unmodified(initial value).

Is the above done by guest OS?
The guest OS doesn't seem to know 64bit bar.
