Do you know if these rely on the offsets? E.g. would they still work
with the patch below applied on top. That would keep the map_resource
semantics as-is as solve the issue pointed out by Robin for now.

If not I can only think of a flag to bypass the offseting for now, but
that would be pretty ugly. Or go for the long-term solution of
discovering the relationship between the two devices, as done by the
PCIe P2P code..
