If there's not a working, compliant config space, the device shouldn't
claim to implement a vfio-pci interface. There's vfio-platform
available for non-PCI devices. While the BAR size may be found via
either REGION_INFO or config space itself, the BAR address space is
only found via config space, ie. memory or IO, 32 or 64-bit,
prefetchable or not. Thanks,
Alex
