So the VM firmware will allocate page aligned BARs, but the guest OS is
free to realloc BARs as it sees fit. VM firmware does not have the
final say in how BARs get mapped within the guest. Besides, it seems
like a lot of hand waving and assumptions that QEMU gets a
MemoryListener region added with a sub-page size that magically gets
expanded because we think we know how the guest is mapping BARs. I'm
not very confident in this solutions. Thanks,
Alex
