Syzkaller reported a kernel panic caused by an out-of-bounds MMIO
access in the e1000e driver.

Repetition steps:
1. Find PCI device which BAR0 size <= 4K. If it's:
Device Addr: 0000:00:02.0 BAR0 SIZE: 4K
Vendor/Device ID: 0x1af4 0x1004
2. Unbind the above PCI device
echo '0000:00:02.0' > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/driver/unbind
3. Set the above device to e1000e new_id
echo '1af4 1004' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/new_id
During e1000_probe(), the driver maps the device's BAR0 memory region.
If the device has a 4K BAR0, ioremap() maps only 4K of space. Later in
the probe process, when the NVM checksum validation fails, the driver
attempts to perform a hardware reset and falls back to the err_eeprom
cleanup path.
This cleanup path will trigger an OOB access kernel panic:
e1000_phy_hw_reset
e1000e_phy_hw_reset_generic
e1000_get_cfg_done_82571
er32(EEMNGCTL)
readl(hw->hw_addr + EEMNGCTL); <-- EEMNGCTL(0x1010) > 4K, OOB access
Fix this by ensuring the MMIO length (pci_resource_len(pdev, 0)) is at
least 64K (0x10000) before proceeding with ioremap(). The 64K minimum
safely covers the maximum register offset accessed by the e1000e driver.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The driver unconditionally maps BAR0 with `ioremap()`, without verifying that BAR0 is an `IORESOURCE_MEM` region. A spoofed PCI device could expose BAR0 as an I/O region, which could bypass the new length check on some architectures and lead to `ioremap()` being called on an I/O port address.

e1000e: Fix out-of-bounds MMIO access by validating BAR0 size
This commit fixes an out-of-bounds MMIO access in the e1000e driver
by ensuring the length of BAR0 is at least 64K before performing ioremap.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but is it possible for ioremap()
to be called on an I/O port region here?
Earlier in e1000_probe(), pci_select_bars() filters out non-memory BARs. If
a device is bound via sysfs and exposes BAR0 as an IORESOURCE_IO region
instead of IORESOURCE_MEM, the driver fails to request the region but still
unconditionally passes mmio_start to ioremap() at this location.
Could this cause a kernel panic on architectures where I/O space is distinct
from memory space when the returned address is subsequently dereferenced?

I commented on the previous version. Is I82579_DFT_CTRL the highest
register? Can E1000_MMIO_LEN_MIN defines based on that?
