Might try this if I get a spare moment... just to see what happens ;-)

Yeah, I always kinda wondered why this wasn't done automatically by 
pciback.  Having pciback do it would mean that even non-BAR aligned 
devices could be exported after booting and w/out specifying PCI IDs as 
kernel args.  That would be one fewer issue to fix later in the 
upstreaming effort.
