Commit message left away the explanation at which point this API might
be useful and how it fits in managed resources model?

Why not simple pci_rbar_get_possible_sizes() ?

8 is defined somewhere in the spec? (Yes, I understand that is just 64
bits shift)

pci_rbar_get_current_size() ?

?

It will briefly get a clue without reading either spec or long description.

I would return int and error code. It would be better in the future
and seems in alignment with above.

All ints are unsigned?
