I doubt we're over-allocating.  However, NVIDIA GPUs have *huge*
register BARs that we need to map.  We already limit the size of the
mappings to what we can reasonably manage without making the code
extremely convoluted.

The problem will be worse with the NVIDIA binary driver, they map the
entire BAR0 (16MiB usually, 64MiB on some cards) and BAR3 (16MiB/32MiB
depending on the card), always.
