Subject: [PATCH] vfio/pci: Sanity check IGD OpRegion Size

The size field of the IGD OpRegion table is supposed to indicate table
size in KB, but we've seen at least one report of a BIOS that appears
to incorrectly report size in bytes.  The default size is 8 (*1024 =
8KB), but an incorrect implementation may report 8192 (*1024 = 8MB)
and can cause a variety of mapping errors.

It's believed that 8MB would be an implausible, if not absurd, actual
size, so we can probably be pretty safe in assuming this is a BIOS bug
where the intended size is likely 8KB.
