Ok I reviewed this more carefully, it moves around:

- gen2: bar 0
- gen3-5: bar 1
- gen6+: bar 2

I think the 100% future proof version would be to change the helper in the
fb core to just have apertures mapping all bars of the passed-in pci
device, and remove the bar number. Then we could apply this patch without
having to duplicate the knowledge about which pci bar the fb can sit in.

If you don't feel like typing this (since quite a bit of scope creep with
my comments already ...) a patch to add it to todo.rst would be great.

Thanks, Daniel
