Doing actual work inside a WARN_ON is pretty nasty. Also the non-ONCE
version here will lead to massive log splatter if it actually hits.

I'd prefer something like:

loff_t start = VFIO_PCI_INDEX_TO_OFFSET(VFIO_PCI_BAR0_REGION_INDEX);
loff_t end = VFIO_PCI_INDEX_TO_OFFSET(VFIO_PCI_ROM_REGION_INDEX);

if (vdev->zapped_bars && __vfio_pci_memory_enabled(vdev)) {
if (!vfio_device_io_remap_mapping_range(&vdev->vdev, start,
end - start))
vdev->zapped_bars = false;
WARN_ON_ONCE(vdev->zapped_bars);

What is the story with this appearing earlier and disappearing here
again?

No need for the extern.
