[PATCH RFC 3/4] kernel/resource: Make ioport_resource.start configurable

Make IO space base address to be configurable through IO_SPACE_BASE.
This will allow architectures which do not natively support IO ports -
like arm64 - to harden against legacy ISA-based drivers which use
hardcoded addresses to access IO ports.
Any attempts for these drivers to request a resource region will now fail
for architectures with set IO_SPACE_BASE above legacy ISA IO port region
(0xffff).
