If we need exceptions for broken or legacy devices, we should check
for those explicitly.

If we fail to assign some BARs at boot, I think it's reasonable to try
to reassign things before drivers claim the devices.  But support for
that should be in a reassignment path, not in the general enumeration
path.  And, since drivers aren't involved yet, it probably doesn't
even depend on pci_can_move_bars.
