By my understanding access to 0x80000000/0x80001000 doesn't generate
any externally visible TLPs?

IHMO modeling this register space as a controller-internal MMIO region
associated with the bridge is reasonable... After all, you are
iomapping it and accessing it with readl/writel - those are MMIO
functions..

Right, there is no specified way to translate config ss through
ranges.
