Ok, I looked at the source now and can confirm:

* 0x0-0x1000 are used for lots of legacy ISA devices.
* PCI devices get assigned IO addresses in 0x400 steps starting at 0x6200.
* There are three PCI drivers doing this: VESA, PCI-SHMEM and virtio-pci.

Regarding the PCI_PROBE_ONLY flag, how do you set that? Should we
have a standard DT property for that? On PowerPC we already specified
"linux,pci-probe-only" and "linux,pci-assign-all-buses", which seems
reasonable to use in architecture independent code as well.
