In the mainline DT (APM Mustang), the CPU physical address corresponding
to IO space is 0xe010000000, PCI bus address is 0x0.

See above, I will get the APM specifications to countercheck.

I agree with you we have to verify if this IO space limitation is
real or it is just an x86ism, in which case we remove that check.
