I have not tested this at all, but I have a candidate patch to fix the root
issue at 
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/compare/master...bsdjhb:bhyve_passthrough_barsize

My first guess at the problem wasn't quite right (though Windows does indeed 
size
BARs in parallel).  For pass-through devices we aren't currently correctly 
disabling
access to a BAR when the guest disables it in the PCI command register which in
turn trips the assertion when using a Windows guest, but in general we need to 
be
honoring the enable bits when set or cleared by the guest.
