and when it fails with a 2GB BAR, the following is printed

I added a few more debug statements and found that in the failure case, the
function returns that it found a region (the last one printed before the
error). I've added printfs for the two tests in the if that determine when
a region is found:
if (tmp.start < tmp.end && tmp.end - tmp.start >= size - 1) {
new->start = tmp.start;
new->end = tmp.start + size - 1;
printk(KERN_INFO "returning 0\n");
return 0;
}

tmp.start 80000000, tmp.end fff
true: ffffffff80000fff >= 7fffffff
this->start 9f400, this->end 9ffff
