There was some talk awhile back of pulling the SR-IOV resources out of
the pci_dev resource array (adding a separate member to track them only
if CONFIG_PCI_IOV is enabled), that would probably be the way to go.
Then fix up whatever resource walking code that cares about IOV BARs
(there isn't much I think).
