What happens if you take a PCI card that supports 64-bit BARs and stick it into a machine that has a 32-bit physical address space?

The firmware/OS will configure the BARs to below 4G.

I think you are right that guests on such systems really do not have a
way to address PCI devices if BAR is set beyond 4G. But pci emulation is
better off not relying on this, IMO. Makes sense?

No.  Device emulation shouldn't change with the machine type.
