I removed pci_add_flags(PCI_PROBE_ONLY) from pSeries_setup_arch and
tried booting with and without pci=resource_alignment= and I can see no
difference - BARs are still aligned to 64K as programmed in SLOF; if I
hack SLOF to align to 4K or 32K - BARs get packed and the guest leaves
them unchanged.

It isn't if it's SLOF but it is if it's phyp. It used to not
allow/support BAR reassignment and even if it does not, I'd rather avoid
touching them.
