Yes. The 0x1000 is really the only sensible way to avoid the
legacy ISA ranges. Most platforms currently set this to zero,
which only works as long as you never try to load things like
an PC keyboard driver (including KDB) or an nvram driver that
probes the well-known ISA ports. The only reason I can see for
using less than 0x1000 is if you have a really small
IO_SPACE_LIMIT, but most platforms seem to set that to
0xffffffff, which is rather unrealistic if you use a memory
mapped IO region.

We also have two platforms (integrator and shark) that use a
higher value of 0x6000 but do not document why they do so.
iop13xx defines it as variable but never sets it to anything
else than zero.
