The read only files are informational, writes to them will be ignored, with
the exception of the 'rom' file. Writable files can be used to perform
actions on the device (e.g. changing config space, detaching a device).
mmapable files are available via an mmap of the file at offset 0 and can be
used to do actual device programming from userspace. Note that some platforms
don't support mmapping of certain resources, so be sure to check the return

The 'enable' file provides a counter that indicates how many times the device
