Yinghai, With the patch, the Power8 machine boots up and have resources
assigned properly: 64-bits pref BARs are covered by 64-bits pref windows
and left memory BARs are covered by 32-bits non-pref windows. Note that
I didn't find an 32-bits-pref BAR on the system.

For SRIOV case, Richard still need test.

Gavin
