I am checking if it is safe to map the any part of the SF's BAR to
userspace without harming other functions. If this is true, I will check
if I can return PAGE_SIZE without compromising security. I think we may
need to extend struct vdpa_notification_area to contain another field
offset which indicates the offset from addr where the actual doorbell
resides.
