By default all BARs map with VMA access permissions as pgprot_noncached. In ARM64 pgprot_noncached is MT_DEVICE_nGnRnE which is strongly ordered and allows aligned access. This type of mapping works for NON-PREFETCHABLE bars containing EP controller registers. But it restricts PREFETCHABLE bars from doing unaligned access. In CMB NVMe drives PREFETCHABLE bars are required to map as MT_NORMAL_NC to do unaligned access.
