That's right, this series does not guarantee that BARs do not get
moved or sized. For P2P use-cases, we do need BARs to remain
stable and avoid sizing during enumeration. We also need to
ensure bridge windows are preserved.

My plan is to send another series to ready the PCI core for P2P
use-cases, sometime after this one.
