When booting OVMF on QEMU with "weird" RAM sizes, QEMU's low-RAM split
logic can trigger two assertion failures in OVMF:

- conflict between PCIEXBAR (ECAM) and low-RAM, on q35,

- running out of variable MTRRs when marking the uncacheable MMIO range
  in 32-bit address space, on both i440fx and q35.

This series fixes both issues, by moving around the PCIEXBAR on q35, and
by truncating the size of the uncacheable 32-bit area to a power of two.
The latter idea was inspired by SeaBIOS.

Tested on both machine types, with the following memory sizes (all in
MB): 1025, 2815, 3583, 5120. On i440fx, the X64 build was used (without
SMM). On q35, the IA32 and IA32X64 builds were used (with SMM). Testing
included "/proc/mtrr" verification, 32-bit PCI MMIO aperture
verification, general dmesg checks, and my usual regression tests too
(ACPI S3, UEFI variable services, ...).

Laszlo Ersek (4):
  OvmfPkg/PlatformPei: assign PciSize on both i440fx/q35 branches
    explicitly
  OvmfPkg/PlatformPei: hoist PciBase assignment above the i440fx/q35
    branching
  OvmfPkg/PlatformPei: reorder the 32-bit PCI hole vs. the PCIEXBAR on
    q35
  OvmfPkg/PlatformPei: fix MTRR for low-RAM sizes that have many bits
    clear
