Good point about the alignment.

Actually both the config space and memory space are set up through the
intermediate ranges of the parent bus.

That's what the first version of the patch did, and I didn't like that
because the masking is not actually a property of the controller, but
it's based on how the controller is connected to the parent bus, in this
case by using a narrower connection. We can describe the connection just
fine using standard DT properties and I think we should.
