lspci prints 64bit addresses then, like this:

00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express
Port 1 (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
[ ... ]
        I/O behind bridge: 00008000-00008fff
        Memory behind bridge: c0000000-c01fffff
        Prefetchable memory behind bridge: 00000000c0200000-00000000c03fffff

I'm not talking about bar #0, but about the prefetchable memory window
for devices behind the bridge.

cheers,
