I don't pretend to understand sysfs or the issue you tripped over with PCI I/O BAR regions. But we had a long discussion about those files [1] last spring, and I'm pretty convinced that it was a mistake to add them in their current form, and I would support an attempt to rework them. We had some ideas about how to do that, but I think everybody lost interest before anything happened.
