To be more complete : Bios will panic if it founds prefmem BARs in both 
32bit and 64bit areas
on the same secondary Bus.
I agree about that this limitation is too strict at the moment.

To answer if it is a legal or not we need to have a look how real BIOS 
would behave in a such
scenario. Unfortunately I have no chance to have this configuration on 
hand. If you have (may
have) this I would appreciate if you let us know how the Bios will behave?
