I just saw this is the fixes pull request, and it seems very odd. Does this
fix an actual bug? Note that Linux normally doesn't map more than 64KB
of I/O space per PCI domain, so it should not make a difference to us.

Also, note that having a high bus address for the I/O space (0xefff0000,
as as the CPU physical address here) means that a lot of the older
devices that actually require I/O space won't work, because they need a
low bus address in the first few KB.

Is this mapping a requirement from a broken bootloader, or can you change
the mapping of the I/O port window in the physical space to the usual
bus address 0?
