I think current mainline ia64 would work only for IO spaces which don't
exceed 64KiB in size. Otherwise it would trip on the same check disabling
Mustang IO space. ia64-specific code supports multiple IO spaces but they
all are expected to start at PCI bus address zero. At least my reading of
that code leads me to believe it is broken otherwise. In any case, those
IO spaces on the PCI bus could exceed 64K in size and any of those which do
would get caught by the 64K check in generic code and disabled.
