I think the 4xx code is pretty much ok at this stage no ?

Which "many other places" ?

There's at least one place in the generic PCI code, in
pci_read_bridge_bases(), that needs fixing in a similar way as we
already fixed __pci_read_base(), ie by testing the resource_size_t size
rather than whether the platform is 64-bit.

There might be a few more.
