With "VFIO doesn't have support" you mean kvmtool's VFIO implementation or the kernel's VFIO driver?
Because to me it looks like it should work in the kernel, at least for the BAR sizing on the expansion ROM BAR:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_config.c#n477

Am I missing something here?

QEMU seems to have code to load the ROM from the device and present that to the guest, but I am not sure exactly why.

Cheers,
Andre
