Nak, this means our kernel emulation of the BAR is broken, a BAR that
is not naturally aligned is not a PCI BAR.  PCI BAR sizing through the
BAR register still needs to work via the kernel interface alone.  It's
clear now how the kernel resizing the vma on mmap was a hack around
userspace mangling the region size.

Maybe this needs to be exposed as a device specific region, which then
userspace emulates as a BAR for the VM facing device rather than the
kernel emulating it as a BAR.  Thanks,

Alex
