It seems this patch was missed/ignored, Can we please get some traction
on this? Even if this is not the correct approach some advice on how to
get this issue resolved would be much appreciated. We are seeing a lot
of outcry of the fact that people have to roll back their OVMF BIOS to
get things working.

Since OVMF 202211 the bios maps BAR2 to an upper address which has the
undesirable effect of making it impossible to map the memory under
Linux
due to it exceeding the maximum permissible range for hotplug memory
(see `mhp_get_pluggable_range` in `mm/memory_hotplug.c`). This patch
resolves this by configuring the BAR as 32-bit.
