And of course, 1MB is the minimum bridge window alignment.  I *guess*
this is actually talking about endpoints with BARs larger than 1MB,
which have to be aligned on their size.  This doesn't actually impose
any requirement on the bridge window alignment, as long as the bridge
window contains the endpoint BARs.

I actually don't enforce "reverse christmas tree", and when I write
code, I order the declarations in order of their use in the code
below, as Nicholas has done.  But either way is fine.
