Do you get an error about a BAR that is not page sized, or not
paged aligned?

At this time the bhyve passthrough code can only deal with
things that are page sized and paged aligned.  The above
device has a 1k memory region, that is only a 1/4 page.

I do not know if there is any way to "fix" this, as it
is a limitation of the IOMMU hardware.
