   Yes, it's the size of the frame buffer in physical address space than    
   I'm after.  For other display adapters, I recognize which particular    
   memory BAR is holding the (physical) address of the (main) frame buffer    
   by looking at the size requirement.  Some display adapters provide    
   multiple windows onto the VRAM of different sizes and characteristics,    
   and they are distinguishable by size.  Some, indeed, provide memory    
   resources for things other than frame buffers.  Of course, this fake    
   display adapter is just providing the one memory BAR; so I could just    
   chop out the size checks and simply take the first (and presumably only)    
   memory resource for the device to always be the frame buffer.   
      
   In fact, I shall do that for now.
