[PATCH] reserve 64bit resources on x86_64

[Eric W. Biederman]

Andi,

The hack from the i386 kernel to not reserve 64bit resource regions
appears to have made it into x86_64.  Since struct resource is 64bit
on 64bit architectures this is completely unnecessary, and dangerous
if the kernel ever assigns a 64bit BAR.
