When vfio passthrough a PCI device of which MMIO BARs

This is because vfio will not allow to passthrough one
BAR's mmio page which may be shared with other BARs.
To solve this performance issue, this patch adds a kernel
parameter "pci=resource_page_aligned=on" to enforce
the alignments of all MMIO BARs to be at least PAGE_SIZE,
so that one BAR's mmio page would not be shared with other
BARs. We can also disable it through kernel parameter
"pci=resource_page_aligned=off".
Shouldn't this somehow be associated with the realloc option? I don't
think PCI code will attempt to reprogram anything unless it needs to
otherwise.
So you mean we need to ignore firmware setup and force re-assigning all
resources if we want to use the option "pci=resource_page_aligned=on"?
For the default value of this parameter, we think it should be
arch-independent, so we add a macro PCI_RESOURCE_PAGE_ALIGNED
to change it. And we define this macro to enable this parameter
by default on PPC64 platform which can easily hit this
performance issue because its PAGE_SIZE is 64KB.

Couldn't this be done in a single line with IS_ENABLED() macro?
I'm not sure whether IS_ENABLED() macro should be used there because
it is always used for CONFIG_ options.
Should this symbol be GPL-only?
Yes, it will be fixed in next version.

Why are we calling resource_alignment() and then doing another
alignment on top of that? Shouldn't this alignment be done there?
We doing the alignment in pci_resource_alignment() because this is a
PCI specific feature. And I don't think pci_resource_page_aligned should
be used in resource_alignment().
I still don't really understand if this is enough to produce a
reallocation if the alignment is not sufficient, vfio would need to
know if pci_resource_page_aligned has any loopholes.
Do you mean doing this in pci_resource_alignment() may not
be enough to make sure the alignments of all PCI resources are page
aligned? Thanks.
