The non_compliant_bars flag causes pci_read_bases() to exit, shouldn't
that mean the resource is not setup and resource_size() is zero and
explicitly testing the non_compliant_bars flag is redundant? Or does
s390 do this somewhere else?
The non_compliant_bars flag is defined as /* Broken BARs; ignore them */
so it'd be pretty strange if they had a resource size and we chose to
still expose them with read-write access... why wouldn't we just
deny-list the device from use with vfio-pci?
Also probably worth an explicit comment in the commit log why pci-sysfs
mmap support doesn't need to be bypassed on s390. Thanks,
Alex
