I have been going through the PCI emulation driver of QEMU as to
understand the BAR entries errors we are getting on the current qemu
support.

I hope to fix it for QEMU soon and would be sharing with Bin and
yourself, my findings(and patches soon).

For Minnowmax, apart from the PCI configuration errors(that we get
similar to QEMU), the power management via the API needs to work too
so that may take some more time.
