Did you have any devices using I/O ports though? They are fairly rare
these days.

I think using pci_address_to_pio() at that point is just wrong
in either way. Before the host is fully registered, you can't actually
look up the port number -- you are only trying to assign one at this time.

The implementation that Will wrote for ARM would work here: find the
next available virtual I/O range, call pci_ioremap_io on range->pci_addr
and then return the virtual address. Unfortunately that code is not
architecture independent at this time, and we will first have to come
up with something that can be made to work for powerpc, microblaze,
mips and arm.
