They're still on my to-do list but are currently languishing because
they touch critical but complicated code that I don't understand and
nobody else has chimed in to help review them.  Testing reports would
also be helpful.

It's been a long time since I've looked at these, but I wonder if at
least the incremental step of adding the parameter to set the
MMIO_PREF size separately from the MMIO size would be more
approachable.
