the BIOS has problem to have two functions point to same position.

During realloc first try: standard+two rom_bar+sriov will be fail at first as
pci root bus does not have enough mmio range,
later try will standard+two rom_bar it will fail too as root bus mmio range will
still only fit standard+one rom_bar.

My thoughts is limit use realloc auto in those systems that does not have mmio64
above 4g...
so old system will never have to specify "pci=realloc=off" to disable it.
