As mentioned regarding the pci_register_io_range() helper, x86
would not enter the 'resource_type(res) == IORESOURCE_IO' code path,
which on the one hand is fine so we can return an error from
pci_register_io_range() there, but I think it will lead to
io_base getting an uninitialized content.

There could also be other reasons why pci_register_io_range() fails,
e.g. because the space is exhausted, and I think we should try to
catch that here and skip the pci_add_resource_offset() and io_base
assignment then.
