If range isn't reserved here, then guest might assume that it's
free to use it for a PCI device since PCI0._CRS reports it
as available.
So we should either reserve range or punch a hole in PCI0._CRS.
Reserving ranges is simpler and that's what we've switched to
from manual hole punching, see PCI/CPU/Memory hotplug and other
motherboard resources.
