Help me understand the "too late" part. Do you mean that there is
enough available space for the max BAR size, but it's fragmented and
therefore not usable? And that if we could do something earlier,
before drivers have claimed their devices, we might be able to compact
the BARs of other devices to make a larger contiguous available space?

That is theoretically possible, but I think the current
pci_resize_resource() only supports resizing of the specified BAR and
any upstream bridge windows. I don't think it supports moving BARs of
other devices.

Sergei did some nice work that might help with this situation because
it can move BARs around more generally. It hasn't quite achieved
critical mass yet, but maybe this would help get there:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20201218174011.340514-1-s.miroshnichenko@xxxxxxxxx/

If I understand Sergei's series correctly, this rebalancing actually
cannot be done during enumeration because we only move BARs if a
driver for the device indicates that it supports it, so there would be
no requirement to do this early.
