It isn't that simple.  For the 32bit pci window it will work, but will
leaves address space unused instead of assigning it to the 32bit pci
window.  For the 64bit pci window it will not work.

You have to walk the dimms and figure what the highest used address is,
for both below-4g and above-4g.  Then fill two variable with it and make
the pci init code use that instead of RamSize and RamSizeOver4G.
