Hi,

Looking at the hardcoded limitation provided by PcdPciMmio64Size
(32GiB), I was wondering what would be the best approach to make this a
bit more dynamic?

I know that for QEMU, the fw_cfg mechanism can be used to override the
value of PcdPciMmio64Size, but this isn't something Cloud Hypervisor or
other VMMs can implement given they don't support fw_cfg at all.

Would it be acceptable to dynamically compute PcdPciMmio64Size from the
physical address space? Given the reason why PcdPciMmio64Size can't be
increased is to make sure it can support host with small address space
(such as 36 bits), we could introduce a very simple function that would
determine the available address space and consider PcdPciMmio64Size
being half the size.

I'm not sure if PcdPciMmio64Size should still be provided or not, as a
default value to fallback on.

Please let me know your thoughts on this and I can start preparing a
patch.

Thanks,
Sebastien
