x86: cap iomem_resource to addressable physical memory
iomem_resource is by default initialized to -1, which means 64 bits of physical address space if 64-bit resources are enabled. However, x86 CPUs cannot address 64 bits of physical address space. Thus, we want to cap the physical address space to what the union of all CPU can actually address. Without this patch, we may end up assigning inaccessible values to uninitialized 64-bit PCI memory resources. Signed-off-by: H.
