Do you think it can be used for *outbound* window setup too? The problem is the
*ranges* property defines both the pci address and cpu address which should
have been enough to program the ob translation window, but the hw is designed
so that the controller sees only the 28 bits. (The most significant 4 bits is
for the l3 to address the controller).

Thanks
