For things like BAR registers, they really must.
The PCI spec is quite specific on this point.

class codes are read only registers. Your proposal might be correct for
some of these. But PCI registers that are reset, change as a result of
guest activity, and reset values are typically specified by guest spec.
So I don't think we should let users tweak these.
