[RFC PATCH v7 3/3] PCI: Add a macro to set default alignment for all PCI devices

When vfio passthroughs a PCI device of which MMIO BARs are
smaller than PAGE_SIZE, guest will not handle the mmio
accesses to the BARs which leads to mmio emulations in host.
This is because vfio will not allow to passthrough one BAR's
mmio page which may be shared with other BARs. Otherwise,
there will be a backdoor that guest can use to access BARs
of other guest.
This patch adds a macro to set default alignment for all
PCI devices. Then we could solve this issue on some platforms
which would easily hit this issue because of their 64K page
such as PowerNV platform by defining this macro as PAGE_SIZE.
