The only Marvell board I have which can accommodate a PCI card does 
support 3.3V PCI cards only.  Otherwise this is all PCI Express.  And 
the only PCI cards with I/O space I've seen are 5V PCI cards.

So I'd say: go for the option with the best consolidation outcome.  No 
one is using cards with I/O space on those platforms.
