Sure, no problem (and it looks like Guo has done just that with
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74151).

I'm pretty sure this problem is not specific to your secret hardware;
it should be reproducible on any hardware with similar apertures and
similar BARs.  I am a little concerned about the PE implications, but
I'm ignoring that for now until we sort out the first-order problem of
getting the allocation scheme to work.
