There is a fixed (in HW) 1 GiB physical address window dedicated to
PCIe. That window is divided between host controller registers, PCIe
root port registers (since our root ports don't respond to configuration
transactions), and regular PCIe accesses; config/MMIO/IO. There are
registers in the host controller that configure the division of this
space into config/MMIO/IO, so that can be dynamic. The DT bindings for
the driver Thierry proposed hard-code those divisions in DT.
