Why do we ever want to change the resource's size? I understand that
you want to change the resource's *alignment*, and that part makes
sense. But why change the *size*? Changing the resource size doesn't
change the hardware BAR size; it just means the struct resource will
describe a region larger than what the BAR actually claims. That
unnecessarily wastes space after the BAR.
This was a problem with the code even before your patch; I'm
suggesting that if you have a way to change the alignment without
changing the resource size, maybe we should do that all the time.
Then you wouldn't need to add the "noresize" option.
