Actually, the bus I/O aperture can start from 0x0000 if you are talking about
PCI bus addresses.

Agree.

Not exactly. If that would be true that means that for an I/O range that
start at bus I/O address zero but physical I/O apperture starts at
0x40000000 the io_offset is zero. For me, the io_offset should be 0x40000000.

Let me see if I can summarise this correctly, using only CPU addresses:

0x0000 - IO_SPACE_LIMIT           <-  logical I/O address
0xPPPPPPPP - 0xPPPPPPPP+IO_SIZE   <-  physical address for PCI I/O space
0xVVVVVVVV - 0xVVVVVVVV+IO_SPACE_LIMIT <- virtual address for I/O

The io_offset then is 0xPPPPPPPP - logical I/O address. At least that is
the intent of the io_offset variable that I introduced in pci_host_bridge.

The bus I/O address is generated by the host bridge, I think we can ignore
it here as it tends to confuse the message.

My understanding is that device drivers all user port numbers that are logical
I/O numbers, so no io_offset needs to be applied here. It is only when one
wants to access the port, that the translation happens. First, inb or outb
will add the PCI_IO_VIRT_BASE to generate the virtual address, the MMU will
then convert that address to physical address and the host bridge will
then translate the physical address into bus address.

The incorrect I/O resource is added to a temporary list of resources, it has not
been attached yet to the list of windows in the bridge. What gets added is the
I/O resource as described if it would be an ordinary resource.

Here, we correct for the fact that IORESOURCE_IO is not a normal resource, because Linux wants
a logical I/O as start and end address, not the physical CPU address. We adjust to that and
remember the offset.

No, all resources are added here. For IORESOURCE_IO we do an adjustment.
