When VFIO passes through a PCI device to a guest, it does not allow
the guest to mmap BARs that are smaller than PAGE_SIZE unless it
can reserve the rest of the page (see vfio_pci_probe_mmaps()). This
is because a page might contain several small BARs for unrelated
devices and a guest should not be able to access all of them.

VFIO emulates guest accesses to non-mappable BARs, which is functional
but slow. On systems with large page sizes, e.g., PowerNV with 64K pages,
BARs are more likely to share a page and performance is more likely to
be a problem.

Add a weak function to set default alignment for all PCI devices.
An arch can override it to force the PCI core to place memory BARs on
their own pages.
