Why does the entirety of vfio-pci need to adapt to the BAR requirements
of this device? There's a variant driver included here that implements
its own read/write handlers and doesn't support mmap, so you're already
halfway there to implement your own region offsets independent of the
conventions of the rest of vfio-pci. Thanks,
