Thank you! Yes I will send a v5. I actually already pushed a changed
version to my git.kernel.org branch but we're still discussing
internally because pdev->non_compliant_bars respectively the resulting
removal of the resources is interfering with future work on user-space
vfio-pci use of the ISM device with a vfio-pci-ism variant driver.

Thanks,
