When vfio passthrough a PCI device of which MMIO BARs

This is because vfio will not allow to passthrough one
BAR's mmio page which may be shared with other BARs.
To solve this performance issue, this patch adds a kernel
parameter "pci=resource_page_aligned=on" to enforce
the alignment of all MMIO BARs to be at least PAGE_SIZE,
so that one BAR's mmio page would not be shared with other
BARs. We can also disable it through kernel parameter
"pci=resource_page_aligned=off".
For the default value of the parameter, we think it should be
arch-independent, so we add a macro
HAVE_PCI_DEFAULT_RESOURCES_PAGE_ALIGNED to change it. And we
define this macro to enable this parameter by default on PPC64
platform which can easily hit this performance issue because
its PAGE_SIZE is 64KB.
Note that the kernel parameter won't works if kernel doesn't do
resources reallocation.
And where do you account for this so that we know whether it's really in
effect?
We can check the flag PCI_PROBE_ONLY to know whether kernel do
resources reallocation. Then we know if the kernel parameter is really
in effect.
enum {
/* Force re-assigning all resources (ignore firmware
* setup completely)
*/
PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC = 0x00000001,
/* Re-assign all bus numbers */
PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_BUS = 0x00000002,
/* Do not try to assign, just use existing setup */
---> PCI_PROBE_ONLY = 0x00000004,
And I will add this to commit log.

I don't think this is proper use of IS_ENABLED, which seems to be
targeted at CONFIG_ type options. You could define this as that in an
arch Kconfig.
Is it better that we define this as a pci Kconfig and select it in arch
Kconfig?

Doesn't this seem rather redundant with the option right above it,
resource_alignment=? Why not modify that to support syntax where all
devices get the same alignment?
The kernel option will be used to do two things.
Firstly, the option can be used to enable all devices to be page aligned.
Secondly, we can use the option to disable it when the Kconfig option
mentioned above enable all devices to be page aligned by default.
We can easily modify this option "resource_alignment=" to do the first
thing. But I didn't find a proper way to modify it to do the second thing.

Since we already have resource_alignment=, shouldn't we already have the
code in place to re-align?
Yes, this code can do the re-aligning. But we can't reuse the code because
it re-align device's bars by changing their sizes, which can potentially
break
some drivers.
I'm thinking if we can use IORESOURCE_STARTALIGN for this. Thanks.
