Pretty much that...the way it is now if the order in which BARs are enumerated is such that the first BAR wants a small amount (say 1KB and gets 0xF0000000-0xF00003FF) and then the second BAR wants a large amout (say 64 MB and gets 0xF4000000-0xF7FFFFFF) then a there is a big waste (0xF0000400-0xF3FFFFFF == ~64 MB). In the various configurations I was running almost as much PCI device address space got wasted as assigned.
