We've seen the same problem. Limiting the __io() to the IO_SPACE_LIMIT
will not fix the problem as the previous code was using a 1:1 CPU to
PCI space view (which is why it was allocating space at 0x44000000).

Either the __io() macro needs to add the base of PCI space, or the
limit needs to be restored.
