I think the host bridge windows having the ability to map 64-bit address
space is different from restricting the non-prefetchable memory aperture
size to 32-bit.
Whether the host bridge uses internal translations or not to map the
non-prefetchable resources to 64-bit space, the size needs to be
programmed in the host bridge's 'Memory Limit Register (Offset 22h)'
which can represent sizes only fit into 32-bits.
Host bridges having the ability to map 64-bit address spaces gives
flexibility to utilize the vast 64-bit space for the (restrictive)
non-prefetchable memory (i.e. mapping non-prefetchable BARs of endpoints
to the 64-bit space in CPU's view) and get it translated internally and
put a 32-bit address on the PCIe bus finally.
