[vbox-dev] PDM virtual PCI device bar size

[José Massada]

I managed to get it to call my callbacks.
Calling PDMDevHlpMMIORegister with the phys address and the full size does
not work. By calling PDMDevHlpMMIORegister with smaller sizes (and the
correct phys address) it works.

Calling PDMDevHlpMMIORegister with phys addr 0x40000000 and size 0x20000000
fails.
Calling PDMDevHlpMMIORegister 4 times with phys addr
0x40000000, 0x48000000, 0x50000000 and 0x58000000, and size 0x8000000 works.
