Looks good to me & survived my testing.

(1) boot winxp -- must not BSOD at boot.
(2) boot linux guest, check the 32bit io window is recognized correctly
    (boot messages, /proc/iomem).
(3) boot linux with xxl pci bar:
    "qemu -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram64_size_mb=2048"
    seabios should map 64bit pci bar(s) above 4G and enable the 64bit
    window.  Verify via seabios log, lspci, /proc/iomem, boot messages.

cheers,
  Gerd
