We can overcome that by emulating a 64-bit device...

I think that's right; but the device can define the the range [0, X) as 
shared RAM and the range [X, 2^n) as undefined.  So long as it makes X 
available in the config space.

Besides, computer people have trouble imagining numbers which are not 
powers of two.
