This seems dangerous - a 64bit bar can be non-prefetchable - getting
this wrong could cause random (hard to debug) crashes.

Just out of curiosity - how this could happen? Having 64bit
non-prefetchable BAR implies that the device is not behind
any bridge (as bridges describe 64bit ranges for prefetchable
memory only). Is it possible on nowadays systems?
