In my version which I sent earlier but didn't commit, also other BARs
besides the first one and also tricky devices like VGA were handled.
But I didn't commit it because I felt it was not going to right
direction. I think the BARs should be specified in PCIDeviceInfo
instead of adding more function calls. The same applies to this patch
set.
