My bad, I picked the #define used in other powerpc code.

This gets defined correctly if CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y. But the actual
problem is the need for a generic 4K #define for x86 and other archs.

This is a good idea. I could not find an IOV specific requirement.
The resource size has to be a multiple of 4K so that the overall
resource-size() * PCI_SRIOV_TOTAL_VF will be a multiple of 4K or more.

Let me share a patch that has a simple #define in drivers/pci/pci.h,
which is needed to get SRIOV cards started on powerpc box.

pci: check for 4k resource_size alignment in sriov_init

pci sriov_init should check for 4k page size alignment of resource_size
even if base page size is larger like 64k in powerpc.
